    Edu-Voting: an Educational Homomorphic E-Voting System
    (Karabük Üniversitesi, 2018) Tekin, Leyla; Özgür, Hüseyin Güven; Sayin, Burcu; Karataş, Arzum; Şenkula, Pelin; İrtem, Emre; Şahin, Serap
    As an instrument of democracy, voting is a critical issue. Although paper-based voting systems are still used commonly, e-voting systems have started to substitute under favor of improvements in the technology. This situation gives rise to need for secure, reliable, and transparent e-voting systems to make people trust. To do this, there are some security requirements that should be concerned and satisfied such as privacy, fairness, verifiability etc. This study has an educational intuition that analyzes those requirements, theoretical background information related to cryptographic schemes behind them and creates a place-based e-voting design which was implemented for kiosk voting. As a contribution, Paillier homomorphic cryptosystem is used in our system. Moreover, our study includes a detailed criticism for the implemented system in terms of chosen cryptosystems and design modules with security and e-voting requirements.

    An Analysis of Rumor Spreading Fundamentals With a Case Study on Facebook
    (Karabük Üniversitesi, 2018) Sayin, Burcu; Şahin, Serap
    Nowadays, the effect of social networks on people's lives is quite high. This situation gives rise to the density of information exist over social networks. That is why, analyzing the spreading pattern of information on social networks is an important issue today. The aim of this study is to technically review the background of information spreading, especially the fundamentals of rumor spreading and analyze the well-known methods on SNs. As a result, this article provides an important background for those, who works on the information spreading over SNs.

    A Novel Approach To Information Spreading Models for Social Networks
    (International Academy, Research, and Industry Association (IARIA), 2017) Sayın, Burcu; Şahin, Serap
    Analyzing and modelling the spreading of any information through a social network (SN) is an important issue in social network analysis. Proposed solutions for this issue do not only help observing the information diffusion but also serve as a valuable resource for predicting the characteristics of the network, developing network-specific advertising etc. Up-to-date approaches include probabilistic analysis of information spreading and the information cascade models. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model which considers an information spreading model, combines it with cascades and social behavior analysis. We propose a new hybrid usage approach to represent a real-world modelling for information spreading process.

    Privacy Issues in Post Dissemination on Facebook
    (Türkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences, 2019) Sayın, Burcu; Şahin, Serap; Kogias, Dimitrios G.; Patrikakis, Charalampos Z.
    With social networks (SNs) being populated by a still increasing numbers of people who take advantage of the communication and collaboration capabilities that they offer, the probability of the exposure of people's personal moments to a wider than expected audience is also increasing. By studying the functionalities and characteristics that modern SNs offer, along with the people's habits and common behaviors in them, it is easy to understand that several privacy risks may exist, many of which people may be unaware of. In this paper, we focus on users' interactions with posts in a social network (SN), using Facebook as our research domain, and we emphasize some privacy leakages currently existing in Facebook's privacy policy. We also propose a solution to detected privacy issues, featuring a reference implementation of a tool based on a simulation, which visualizes the effect of potential privacy risks on Facebook and directs users to control their privacy. The proposed and simulated tool allows a post owner to observe the spreading area of his or her post depending on the selected privacy settings. Moreover, it provides preliminary feedback for all Facebook users that have interacted with this post, to make them aware of the possible privacy changes, aiming to give them a chance to protect the privacy of their interaction on this post by deleting it when an unwanted privacy change takes place. Finally, an online survey to increase privacy awareness in Facebook usage with over 500 volunteer participants has illuminated the need for such a tool or solution.

    An Analysis of Information Spreading and Privacy Issues on Social Networks
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Sayin, Burcu; Şahin, Serap
    With Social Networks (SNs), being populated by a still increasing number of people, who take advantage of the communication and collaboration capabilities that they offer, density of the information, spread over SNs is increasing steadily. Furthermore, the probability of exposure of someone’s personal moments to a wider than expected crowd is also increasing. Hence, analyzing the spreading area and privacy level of any information through a SN is an important issue in social network analysis. By studying the functionalities and characteristics that modern SNs offer, along with the people’s habits and common behavior in them, it is easy to understand that several privacy risks may exist, for many of which people may be unaware of. We address this issue, focusing on interactions with posts in a SN, using Facebook as the research domain. As a novelty, we propose an application tool which visualizes the effect of potential privacy risks in Facebook and provides users to control their privacy. The proposed (and simulated) tool allows a Post Owner to observe the spreading area of his/her post, depending on the selected privacy settings of this post. Moreover, it provides preliminary feedback for all the Facebook users that have interacted with this post, to make them aware of the possible privacy changes, aiming to give them a chance to protect the privacy of their interaction on this post by deleting it when such a privacy change takes place.
