Online Social Networks Security: Principles, Algorithm, Applications, and Perspectives

In recent years, virtual meeting technology has become a part of the everyday lives of more and more people, often with the help of global online social networks (OSNs). These help users to build both social and professional links on a worldwide scale. The sharing of information and opinions are important features of OSNs. Users can describe recent activities and interests, share photos, videos, applications, and much more. The use of OSNs has increased at a rapid rate. Google+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Sina Weibo, VKontakte, and Mixi are all OSNs that have become the preferred way of communication for a vast number of daily active users. Users spend substantial amounts of time updating their information, communicating with other users, and browsing one another's accounts. OSNs obliterate geographical distance and can breach economic barrier. This popularity has made OSNs a fascinating test bed for cyberattacks comprising Cross-Site Scripting, SQL injection, DDoS, phishing, spamming, fake profile, spammer, etc.

OSNs security: Principles, Algorithm, Applications, and Perspectives describe various attacks, classifying them, explaining their consequences, and offering. It also highlights some key contributions related to the current defensive approaches. Moreover, it shows how machine-learning and deep-learning methods can mitigate attacks on OSNs. Different technological solutions that have been proposed are also discussed. The topics, methodologies, and outcomes included in this book will help readers learn the importance of incentives in any technical solution to handle attacks against OSNs. The best practices and guidelines will show how to implement various attack-mitigation methodologies.

近年來，虛擬會議技術已成為越來越多人日常生活的一部分，通常在全球線上社交網絡（OSNs）的幫助下實現。這些網絡幫助用戶在全球範圍內建立社交和專業聯繫。信息和意見的分享是OSNs的重要特點。用戶可以描述最近的活動和興趣，分享照片、視頻、應用程序等等。OSNs的使用量迅速增加。Google+、Facebook、Twitter、LinkedIn、新浪微博、VKontakte和Mixi都是成千上萬日活躍用戶首選的溝通方式。用戶花費大量時間更新信息、與其他用戶交流和瀏覽彼此的帳戶。OSNs消除了地理距離，可以突破經濟障礙。這種受歡迎程度使OSNs成為跨站腳本、SQL注入、分布式拒絕服務攻擊、釣魚、垃圾郵件、假資料、垃圾郵件發送者等網絡攻擊的有趣實驗場。

《OSNs安全：原則、算法、應用和展望》描述了各種攻擊，對其進行分類，解釋了其後果並提供了解決方案。它還強調了與當前防禦方法相關的一些重要貢獻。此外，它還展示了機器學習和深度學習方法如何減輕對OSNs的攻擊。還討論了提出的不同技術解決方案。本書包含的主題、方法和結果將幫助讀者了解在處理對OSNs的攻擊時，激勵因素的重要性。最佳實踐和指南將展示如何實施各種攻擊減輕方法。
