SeSoc 2014 - The 6th IEEE International Workshop on Security and Social Networking

So far, Online Social Networks are self-contained, walled garden services, with a centralized omniscient provider that collects and shares PII selectively with customers and affiliates. The amount of information gathered about the users in the case of Web-based SNS has already been extensive -- but this information even consists of detailed location traces and preference information, given by the frequency of check-ins at visited establishments and comments annotated to them, in this new paradigm. The problems of security and privacy in such a surveilled, pervasive communication environment hence are becoming more and more crucial. The aim of SESOC 2014 hence is to encompass research advances in all areas of security, trust and privacy in pervasive communication systems with a special focus on the social aspects of the services.
