ABSTRACT
Mobile social networking is social networking where
individuals with similar interests converse and connect with
one another through their mobile phone and/or tablet. Much
like web-based social networking, mobile social networking
occurs in virtual communities. A current trend for social
networking websites, such as facebook, is to create mobile
apps to give their users instant and real-time access from
their device. Encounter-based social networks and encounterbased
systems link users who share a location at the same
time, as opposed to the traditional social network paradigm of
linking users who have an offline friendship. In this paper,
we explore the functional and security requirements for these
new systems, such as availability, security, and privacy, and
present several design options for building secure encounterbased
social networks. To highlight these challenges we
examine one recently proposed encounter-based social
network design and compare it to a set of idealized security
and functionality requirements. We also evaluate real-world
performance of one of our designs by implementing a proofof-
concept iPhone application called meet up. Experiments
highlight the potential of our system and hint at the
deployability of our designs on a large scale.
