On the other hand, Online Social Networks (OSN)has a wide spread recognition among the users, as a means of virtual communication. OSN may also acts as an identity provider for both internal and externalapplications. While it provides a simplified identification and authentication function to users across multiple applications, it also opens the users to a new spectrum of privacy threats. The privacy breaches costs to the users as well as tothe OSN. Despite paying millions of dollars as fine every year, the OSN hasnot done any significant changes, as data is the fuel and what it loses as fine isfar less compared to the money OSN makes out of the shared data. In this work,we have discussed a wide range of possible privacy threats and solutions prevailing in OSN-Third Party Application (TPA) data sharing scenario. Our solutionmodels the behavior of the user, as well as TPA and pinpoints the avenues of oversharing to the users, thereby limiting the privacy loss of the user.展开更多
