A special model for the security of the user of social media of the Internet

Abstract

Implementation of the tasks of protecting the information space of the state requires a complex of measures to protect the social environment of the Internet from harmful influences. Organization of systemic activities in this direction requires scientifically based formalized methods based on a unified platform. Such a platform should include a structured description of a number of key characteristics of users of social media in the Internet. The paper proposes a special security model for users of social media in the Internet and describes the objects of information activity. The components of the user model are grouped into separate groups on a content basis, which makes it possible to formalize it. The following groups are identified: ID and personal data; activity; content readers; content providers; user community; controlled resources. Each group has its own set of metrics and data types defined for them. The properties of users of social environments are described and their characteristics are described. Formalized description of the user's social portrait: consumer reader (user) of the content - a user of social media on the Internet who has signed a subscription to automated receipt of new content created by the user and content providers - users from whom the delivery of content to the user. It also describes for each user the sets of network identifier communities. The thematic projection of user activity is considered, which helps to determine a plurality of interests of a certain individual. This will help to formulate in a specific application a certain basic set of thematic markers (key words) that are interesting in terms of security tasks. The proposed special security model can be used to construct special human-machine algorithms for protecting the social media of the Internet and to build a database structure of specialized software complexes for protecting the national information space of the state.
