Abstract

Online Social Networks(OSN) plays a vital role in our day to day life. The most popular social network, Facebook alone counts currently 2.23 billion users worldwide. Online social network users are aware of the various security risks that exist in this scenario including privacy violations and they are utilizing the privacy settings provided by OSN providers to make their data safe. But most of them are unaware of the risk which exists after deletion of their data which is not really getting deleted from the OSN server. Self destruction of data is one of the prime recommended methods to achieve assured deletion of data. Numerous techniques have been developed for self destruction of data and this paper discusses and evaluates these techniques along with the various privacy risks faced by an OSN user in this web centered world.
