+The idea of HOSNs is to combine a commercial online social network (COSN) and a privacy-preserving online social network (PPOSN).
|
|
|
That combination enables to utilize both the market penetration of COSNs and the anonymity of PPOSNs.
|
|
|
The COSN serves as base network and provides the user base as well as the connectivity between these users.
|
|
|
The PPOSN is established above, providing the users with means of communication beyond the knowledge of the provider of the COSN.
