title = "Classification of third-party applications on Facebook to mitigate users{\textquoteright} information leakage",
abstract = "Facebook is significant platform for third-party developers to run written applications in order to provide users extra functionality and services. Third-party applications (TPAs) access to user{\textquoteright}s profile and exchange their information. In doing so, this may lead to information leakage and privacy risks. Although Facebook has control over third-party applications, it still lacks control in the existing mechanisms. The aim of this paper is to investigate how to hinder TPAs from accessing user{\textquoteright}s private information while still sustaining the functionality of the applications. To address privacy and functionality simultaneously, this study suggests a classification framework providing mechanism in controlling TPAs access to the users{\textquoteright} data residing on Facebook. The improved framework allows TPAs to utilize some of users{\textquoteright} data according to their classification authority to mitigate users{\textquoteright} information leakage.",
