Abstract
As the booming of social network recently, companies such as Google and Facebook provide intelligent services and information by collecting, analyzing, and manipulating user data on the Internet. However, these originally private data which contain lots of privacy gradually become dominated by these companies. Thus, not only might the privacy not be ensured but it is also difficult to share and update personal data among services of different companies. On the other hand, much information is fake or even malicious on social network. It not only confuses users but also wastes lots of social cost to handle. Hence, this thesis proposes an autonomous identity (Aid) for social network to provide users with total control of own data and privacy. Aid is designed independent from network services, most of Aid information is stored locally, and it is authenticated by digital signature. Moreover, users need to be responsible for their social activities before they can be really autonomous. Therefore, we also propose an autonomous mechanism to evaluate metrics of Aid, such as credit or reality, so that users can evaluate one another by these metrics quantitatively. We have implemented the prototype of Aid and application programming interfaces for services, offered some laboratories of some universities to develop autonomous network services. By Aid of "autonomous quantification", we believe network identities become more autonomous and reliable to increase the quality of activities in social network.
