Achieving Secure and Privacy-Preserving in Mobile Social Networks

Abstract

This chapter proposes a security framework for achieving secure and privacy-preserving mobile social networks named ASPP. Based on the cooperative neighbor, reactive routing protocol, and short signatures technique, the proposed scheme can not only detect and avoid but also can preserve the message privacy against elemental attacks and compound attacks. In addition, ASPP is robust against eavesdropping attack, wormhole attack, packet analysis attack, packet tracing attack, and replay attack. Extensive analyses and experiments are given to demonstrate its high detection rate and practicability under various scenarios.
