- QUOTE: We propose DECENT, an architecture for enforcing access control in a decentralized OSN. Our focus is on providing data confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the presence of malicious nodes in a distributed setting. Our architecture is also able to protect the privacy of user relationships. DECENT is based around a flexible object-oriented design (OOD) that supports the main functionality of OSNs and captures the complex multi-principal interactions that are common in social networks. The confidentiality and integrity of data are protected by a cryptographic mechanism so that they can be stored in untrusted nodes in a distributed hash table (DHT). The standard DHT mechanisms are extended to ensure availability despite malicious attempts to erase or overwrite stored data.
