With rapidly evolving social network technology, anonymous network identity will ensure the existence of MU privacy. The implementation of this system can help eliminate all the security and privacy problems that currently plague MSNs. This is because the device's network identity plays an important role in establishing connections between devices. If Internet servers adopted this system, security and privacy issues in MSNs would become a problem of the past. ComScore reports that social networks account for approximately 84% of the world's Internet users. Top sites associated with these statistics include Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp, among others. The percentage employs approximately 1.3 billion of all Internet users. Technological advances in networking have made it possible for smartphones and other devices to access the Internet. Users around the world are now able to share information and data updated in real time. The connection provided by social networks and smartphones offers users a reliable communication platform for easy information sharing (Liang et al., “Efficient and Secure Protocol” 175). Smartphones play an important role in the field of social networks because run applications that use various platforms to connect users. As a result, there is an increase in the number of smartphone applications that use the Internet. Applications are divided into three broad categories including online social applications (OSA) smartphones. .They establish a connection between mobile users (MUs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). MUs trust ISPs; consequently, the privacy and security of the former are covered by the latter. " IEEE Wireless Communications 21.1 (2014): 33-41.
