Abstract

In this paper, we performan empirical analysis of email traffic logs obtained from a large university tobetter understand the development of social networks. We analyzed datacontaining records of emails sent over a period of 10 months - the largestdataset we are aware of. We study the long term evolution of social networks onreal world data. The initial analysis of data is followed by an exploration ofexistence of how social network impacts the anonymity. We describepossibilities of modeling social network and describe dynamics of theirdevelopment. Based on our result we design attack of proper selection, whichcould cause higher successfulness of disclosure attacks.
