I study two privacy-preserving social network graphs to dis- close the types of relationships of connecting edges and provide flexible multigrained access control. To create such graphs, my schemes employ the concept of secretaries and types of relationships. It is significantly more efficient than those that using expensive cryptographic primitives. I also show how these schemes can be used for multigrained access control with various options. In addition, I describe how much these schemes are resilient to infer the types of connecting edges.
Zheleva and Getoor @cite_1 addressed the problem of preserving privacy of sensitive relationship in a social network. The authors introduced five different edge anonymization algorithms by adopting different removing edges or clustering edges between nodes under the very specific assumptions.

In this paper, we focus on the problem of preserving the privacy of sensitive relationships in graph data. We refer to the problem of inferring sensitive relationships from anonymized graph data as link reidentification. We propose five different privacy preservation strategies, which vary in terms of the amount of data removed (and hence their utility) and the amount of privacy preserved. We assume the adversary has an accurate predictive model for links, and we show experimentally the success of different link re-identification strategies under varying structural characteristics of the data. In recent years, concerns of privacy have become more prominent for social networks. Anonymizing a graph meaningfully is a challenging problem, as the original graph properties must be preserved as well as possible. We introduce a generalization of the degree anonymization problem posed by Liu and Terzi. In this problem, our goal is to anonymize a given subset of nodes while adding the fewest possible number of edges. The main contribution of this paper is an efficient algorithm for this problem by exploring its connection with the degree-constrained subgraph problem. Our experimental results show that our algorithm performs very well on many instances of social network data. Privacy-preserving data publishing addresses the problem of disclosing sensitive data when mining for useful information. Among the existing privacy models, ∈-differential privacy provides one of the strongest privacy guarantees and has no assumptions about an adversary's background knowledge. Most of the existing solutions that ensure ∈-differential privacy are based on an interactive model, where the data miner is only allowed to pose aggregate queries to the database. In this paper, we propose the first anonymization algorithm for the non-interactive setting based on the generalization technique. The proposed solution first probabilistically generalizes the raw data and then adds noise to guarantee ∈-differential privacy. As a sample application, we show that the anonymized data can be used effectively to build a decision tree induction classifier. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed non-interactive anonymization algorithm is scalable and performs better than the existing solutions for classification analysis. We study the problem of privacy-preservation in social networks. We consider the distributed setting in which the network data is split between several data holders. The goal is to arrive at an anonymized view of the unified network without revealing to any of the data holders information about links between nodes that are controlled by other data holders. To that end, we start with the centralized setting and offer two variants of an anonymization algorithm which is based on sequential clustering (Sq). Our algorithms significantly outperform the SaNGreeA algorithm due to Campan and Truta which is the leading algorithm for achieving anonymity in networks by means of clustering. We then devise secure distributed versions of our algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of privacy preservation in distributed social networks. We conclude by outlining future research proposals in that direction.
