摘要：The Profile matching is defined as two users comparing their personal profiles and is often the first step towards effective Proximity Mobile Social Networks. However according to users perspective the growing privacy issues about make their personal profiles to complete strangers before deciding to interact with them. Proposed protocols enable two users to perform profile matching without exploring any information about their profiles beyond the comparison result Making new connections according to personal preferences is a crucial service in mobile social networking, where an initiating user can find matching users within physical proximity of him/her. In present systems for such services, generally all the users directly publish their complete profiles for others to search. Since, in many applications, the users’ personal profiles may contain sensitive information that they do not want to share with other. In this paper, we propose a set of privacy preserving profile matching schemes for proximity based mobile social networks. In this, an initiating user can find from a group of users the one whose profile best matches with his/her; to limit the risk of privacy exposure, only necessary and minimal information about the private attributes of the participating users is exchanged. Two increasing levels of user privacy are defined, with decreasing amounts of revealed profile data. Leveraging secure multiparty computation (SMC) techniques, we propose novel protocols that realize each of the user privacy levels, which can also be personalized by the users. The profile attributes between two users as the matching metric, which measures the distance between their social elements with each being a vector precomputed by a trusted central server to represent the location of a user in an online social network.
