Abstract

Over the past 5–10 years, online social networks have rapidly expanded, and as of March 2012 the largest online social network, Facebook, had over 901 million active members. The wealth of information users post in their social network profiles, as well as the underlying structure of the network itself, are appealing datasets for researchers and alluring targets for criminals. Due to the attractiveness of these networks to both groups, researchers have recently begun to study methods for releasing this data in a manner that maintains the privacy of the individuals in the network.
