Sybil Attacks VS Identity Clone Attacks in Online Social Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sybil attacks and Identity Clone attacks (also known as Profile Cloning attacks) have become significant security and privacy concerns for online social network (OSN) systems integrated with reputation or evaluation mechanisms. In both attacks, adversaries first create multiple identities and then launch attacks to compromise reputation or evaluation mechanisms in OSN systems. In this paper, we discuss and distinguish these two attacks. The comparisons between them are presented based on pre-requirements, network topology and attack impacts.

Exposing Impersonation Attacks in Online Social Networks
Today, users sign on to most online social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ via weak identities, i.e., unverified identities that do not require users to prove that their online identities match their offline (real world) personalities. Weak identities leave the sites vulnerable to a variety of fake identity or Sybil attacks. In this paper, we focus on identity impersonation...
متن کاملRandom Key Pre-Distribution Techniques against Sybil Attacks
Sybil attacks pose a serious threat for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) security. They can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. In a Sybil attack, the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. Sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...
متن کاملA Secure Routing Algorithm for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
Recently, underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the interest of many researchers and the past three decades have held the rapid progress of underwater acoustic communication. One of the major problems in UWSNs is how to transfer data from the mobile node to the base stations and choosing the optimized route for data transmission. Secure routing in UWSNs is necessary for packet d...

Security is the major area of concern in communication channel. Security is very crucial in wireless sensor networks which are deployed in remote environments. Adversary can disrupt the communication within multi hop sensor networks by launching the attack. The common attacks which disrupt the communication of nodes are packet dropping, packet modification, packet fake routing, badmouthing atta...
متن کاملA Survey of Sybil Attacks in Networks
Most peer-to-peer systems are vulnerable to Sybil attacks. The Sybil attack is an attack wherein a reputation system is subverted by a considerable number of forging identities in peer-to-peer networks. By illegitimately infusing false or biased information via the pseudonymous identities, an adversary can mislead a system into making decisions benefiting herself. For example, in a distributed ...
