Paper Abstract:
|
Online social networks (OSNs) are among the most commonly accessed sites on the internet. People use OSNs to share
activities, memories, events and concerns with their family, friends and acquaintances. OSNs are important means for
information exchange and collaboration also. Though OSNs make correspondence and data sharing much easier, it has
adverse impacts such as being able to receive meaningless, unnecessary, and inaccurate information through connections
proposed by the recommending system. This might also escalate to the exploitation of user's data by recommending false
information. This generates a pressing need to assess the trustworthiness of links between users in order to guarantee the
safety of their everyday social networking interactions. The aim of this paper is to understand trust evaluation in OSNs
which is accomplished by addressing three research questions. The contribution of this study is threefold. First, we
present a comprehensive understanding of trust in OSNs. Second, we present the research trends and profile of studies
examining trust evaluation is OSNs. Third, we outline the key challenges present in trust evaluation in OSNs. |
