A TRUST-BASED PRIVACY-PRESERVING FRIEND
RECOMMENDATION SCHEME FOR ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKS
ABSTRACT
Online Social Networks (OSNs), which attract thousands of million people to use every
day, greatly extend OSN users’ social circles by friend recommendations. OSN users’ existing
social relationship can be characterized as 1-hop trust relationship, and further establish a multi-
hop trust chain during the recommendation process. As the same as what people usually
experience in the daily life, the social relationship in cyberspaces are potentially formed by OSN
users’ shared attributes, e.g., colleagues, family members, or classmates, which indicates the
attribute-based recommendation process would lead to more fine-grained social relationships
between strangers. Unfortunately, privacy concerns raised in the recommendation process
impede the expansion of OSN users’ friend circle. Some OSN users refuse to disclose their
identities and their friends’ information to the public domain. In this paper, we propose a trust
based privacy-preserving friend recommendation scheme for OSNs, where OSN users apply
their attributes to find matched friends, and establish social relationships with strangers via a
multi-hop trust chain. Based on trace-driven experimental results and security analysis, we have
shown the feasibility and privacy preservation of our proposed scheme.

EXISTING SYSTEM
On the one hand, directly asking recommendations to strangers or a non close friend not
only reveals Alice’s identity, but also reveals her health condition and medical information. Even
worse, traditional recommendation approaches applying identity to recommend strangers will
disclose OSN users’ social relationships to the public, which impede patients from utilizing it,
and also decrease the possibility of establishing the multi-hop trust chain if one of OSN users on
the chain returns a negative result. On the other hand, current approaches cannot achieve the
fine-grained and context-aware results automatically, due to the fact that OSN users have to
determine the recommended friends based on their own judgments on the recommendation
query. As in our example, Alice would like to ask for help from her friends who work in a
hospital, but not a truck driver. To overcome the above issue, we consider the possibility of
singsong users’ social attributes to establish the multi-hop trust chain based on each context-
aware 1-hop trust relationship, where most of trust relationships are formed and strengthened by
the shared social attributes.
DISADVANTAGES
1. Privacy concerns raised in the recommendation process impede the expansion of
OSN users’ friend circle
2. Some OSN users refuse to disclose their identities and their friend’s information
to the public domain.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this paper, design a light-weighted privacy-preserving friend recommendation scheme
for OSNs by utilizing both users’ social attributes and their existing trust relationships to
establish a multi-hop trust chain between strangers. In our scheme, we jointly consider privacy
leakages and preservation approaches regarding the identity, social attributes, and their trust
relationships of OSN users during the recommendation process. By trace-driven experimental
results, we demonstrate both the security and efficiency of our proposed scheme
ADVANTAGES
1. Based on the 1-hop trust relationships, we extend existing friendships to multi-
hop trust chains without compromising recommenders identity privacy
2. Extensive trace-driven experiment are deployed to verify the performance of our
scheme in terms of security, efficiency, and feasibility.
