HAC: Hybrid Access Control for Online Social Networks

HAC: Hybrid Access Control for Online Social Networks

The rapid development of communication and network technologies including mobile networks and GPS presents new characteristics of OSNs. These new characteristics pose extra requirements on the access control schemes of OSNs, which cannot be satisfied by relationship-based access control currently. I...
