Abstract
In recent years, with the growth of the Internet,the number of users of Online Social Networks (OSNs) hasincrease. Users use these systems to communicate and shareinformation with each other. In order to protect the amount ofdata that is being shared in these systems and to avoid securityand privacy issues, it is important to have an adequate AccessControl Model. Researchers have proposed different accesscontrol models to satisfy users’ requirements and address thesecurity and privacy issues. This paper presents a discussion ofstrength and weaknesses of the Social Graph Model andMultiparty Access Control Model. In addition, we provide acomparative analysis of the selected models based on the accesscontrol requirements with the purpose of determining whetherthe models fulfill or not the social requirements of thecommunity.
