Abstract

Online social networks (OSNs) are currently a popular platform for social interactions among people. Usually, OSN users upload various contents including personal information on their profiles. The ability to infer users’ hidden information or information that has not been even uploaded (i.e. private/sensitive information) by an unauthorised agent is commonly known as attribute inference problem. In this paper, we propose 3LP+, a privacy-preserving technique, to protect users’ sensitive information leakage. We apply 3LP+ on a synthetically generated OSN data set and demonstrate the superiority of 3LP+ over an existing privacy-preserving technique.
