Social Network Privacy Using Two Tales Of Privacy Algorithm

Privacy is very important in online social networks as a lot of critical information is being exchanged over the network. So there is a need for security in such applications. Thus this application adds a level of security by using encryption technique (AES-Advanced Encryption Standard) to ensure that the data is not readable over the network and this application also includes privacy settings to specify what should be accessed by whom. The system takes the password while the user registers and encrypts it using AES algorithm and stores in the database. When the user tries to log in into the system, the system fetches the password of the user Id specified and decrypts it using AES and if the password matches, the system allows access to the application. Privacy setting is also provided by the system which specifies which part of the profile should be accessed by who.
