Abstract: Users and resources in online social networks (OSNs) are interconnected via various types of relationships. In particular, user-to-user relationships form the basis of the OSN structure, and play a significant role in specifying and enforcing access control. Individual users and the OSN provider should be enabled to specify which access can be granted in terms of existing relationships. In the paper proposed system a novel user-to-user relationship-based access control (UURAC) model for OSN systems that utilizes regular expression notation for such policy specification. Access control policies on users and resources are composed in terms of requested action, multiple relationship types, the starting point of the evaluation, and the number of hops on the path. In this system, Mutual Balanced Privacy-preservation Algorithm (MBPA) is used to determine whether the required relationship path between users to be offered or not. This approach gives the way to protect our friends from the unrelated friend’s network. Access control policies on users and resources are composed in terms of requested action, multiple relationship types.
