NET-CHK A Security Framework for Social Networking Applications

Abstract: The Online Social Network Services (OSNs) have experienced tremendous growth in recent years and become a de facto portal for hundreds of millions of internet users. These OSNs offer attractive means for digital social interactions and data sharing, but also raise a number of issues on security and privacy. While OSNs allow users to restrict access shared data, they currently do not provide any mechanism to enforce security and privacy concerns over data associated with multiple users. One fundamental issue in today‟s OSNs is to give users the ability to control the messages posted on their own private space to avoid that unwanted content is displayed. In this paper, the proposed framework called Net-Chk application, creates firewall in network security. This proposed application gives close wall security while accessing the Social Network sites. It enables the protection of shared data associated with multi users virtual environment in OSNs. And it also allows OSN users to have a direct control on the messages posted on their walls and a secured login method is provided to avoid hacking, Phishing and Social Engineering. It is achieved by using RSA Algorithm.
