“…While the impact of cross-domain access can be analyzed through several techniques like the one explored in [18], the aspect just pointed out need further exploration. Assuming there will be a regulation for privacy [19], one would need to understand how compliance of regulations on the policy settings can be ensured. Fig.…”

“…The observed information need not necessarily be "personally identifiable information" as defined in prevalent definitions of privacy [21,13]. We believe that users trust Facebook as they voluntarily divulge [19] personal information, during profile creation and thereupon, to Facebook. In this section we analyze some of the instances of privacy violations in Facebook using the analysis done in Sections 2-3.…”

Facebook has a very flexible privacy and security policy specification that is based on intensional and extensional categories of user relationships. The former is fixed by Facebook but controlled by users whereas the latter is facilitated by Facebook with limited control to users. Relations and flows among categories is through a well-defined set of protocols and is subjected to the topology of underlying social graph that continuously evolves by consuming user interactions. In this paper, we analyze how far the specified privacy policies of the users in Facebook preserve the standard interpretation of the policies. That is, we investigate whether Facebook users really preserve their privacy as they understand it or certain of their innocuous actions leak information contrary to their privacy settings. We demonstrate the kind of possible breaches and discuss how plausibly they could be set right without compromising performance. The breaches are validated through experiments on the Facebook.

“…The problem arises when a TTP achieves a dominant market position (e.g., Western Union, Visa, Uber), the cost of facilitation appears exorbitant. The facilitation is not necessarily be always charged in legal currency, it could be recovered [Patil and Shyamasundar, 2017] by aggregating transaction's meta information and using such information to earn legal currency (e.g., OpenDNS, JustDial.) Despite charging a fees on transaction settlement, there is nothing that stops a TTP from monetizing the transactions' meta-information.…”

Computing, communication, and technology have not only made an amazing progress in the past couple of decades but also made a huge impact on the evolution of science and society. During the last half-century, we can broadly say that the pace & direction of this evolution is due to the rapid growth in theoretical & technological advancements in Computer Science (hardware & software), networks, electronics, photonicseach one catalyzing the other's growth & thus reducing their costs and in turn their accessibility. In fact, some of the outcomes were a result of funding from NSF, DARPA (USA), and advancements realized at Bell Labs, AT&T, IBM, Xerox, SRI, et al. One of the most striking observations since the beginning of the century has been that the pace and growth is largely dictated by the market 1 . Some of the important characteristic observations are:1. There is an information avalanche as the digital universe is expanding at a rapid rate. It is estimated that by year 2020, the digital data produced will exceed 40 zettabytes. This corresponds to saying for every human there is approximately 5200 gigabytes of data 2 .
