De-anonymizing Social Networks
Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:19

I have been doing a bit of reading on social network graphing and general social network theories and concepts. Visualization techniques can be very effective when attempting to analyze social networks and the resulting gathered data. This is evidenced by the paper entitled "De-anonymizing Social Networks" by Arvind Narayanan and Vitaly Shmatikov. If you are interested in social network graphing and/or general visualization give this paper a go.
