Reflecting upon your research/project problem
TOPIC
Online Identity of Persons in a Social Network Site
Most current social network sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn) can only
identify individuals based on queries. In that sense, a clear identity of the person instead of
the identity of the device being used by the person is required. In this project a more secure
identity of the person which combines the biometric features of the person with other
identity attributes (mobile phone number, IP address of device etc.) will improve recognition
of persons in social network sites. To date no social network site has this type of identity.
However, it is possible to require the combination of for example the person’s fingerprint for
clear identity and authentication.
