Privacy Enabled Dynamic Regimentation of Photo Posting on Online Social Networks

Security has become a major concern in today’s IT scenario because of the surge in use of technology aids and wide usage of publically available social networks among people because of its economic viability. Due to these concerns, common users are facing lot of issues which has become a life threatening issue. Public in terms of application provider needs some advertisement business model to offer the application at free of cost, even though the application which are already available have some security features, they completely lag in preserving user privacy, and vice versa. The user of such applications are not aware of the privacy settings configured in the application. Apparently, when a user (X) of an application takes and shares picture from a public place (Museum), the photo may have other users (Y) image as well, without their (Y’s) knowledge it may be available online. Hence, the basic idea behind the solution is to use some face recognition algorithm to identify the other (Y’s) face in the current user (X’s) picture and to intimate the other user (Y) about the occurrence of their picture. With this, the user can provide their decision on whether their picture could be shared or not so as to have control on their access privilege. The proposed approach solves the above problem and provides privacy in posting of photos in online sources. This provides an intimation to the users on their photo sharing.
