Project Description
Social networking platforms such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and many others have seen an enormous increase in user population and user provided information. However, users are increasingly concerned about identity and data privacy since information is aggregated at single companies. To address this issue researchers have been investigating alternative solutions, where the users' data such as profile information, comments and messages is stored at user-controlled nodes.
In this project we work on Gemstone (Project Webpage), a social network platform that decentralizes social networks to return the data control back to the users. If you would like to join this work, please get in contact with us and depending on your experience and educational level, we will check out how you can participate!
