Enhancing Privacy and Security in Decentralized Social Systems: Blockchain-Based Approach

the emergence of decentralized social systems has provided multiple opportunities and challenges in the areas of privacy and security. Centralized platforms are sensitive to many vulnerabilities, including data breaches, illegal data sharing, and the possibility of censorship. Although decentralized platforms have been developed to address some concerns, there are challenges, especially in the areas of identity management and maintaining secure communication channels. Accordingly, this study aims to explore the possibility of using blockchain technology as a means of improving privacy and security in decentralized social networks. As the use of blockchain technology in the field of identity management, data encryption, and secure peer-to-peer communications, there are potential impacts and difficulties, especially in finding a good mix between openness and transparency. The results of our study show that the use of blockchain technology has a lot of potential to help solve many problems that already exist. However, it is important to be careful and use a well-thought-out plan while implementing it to make the most of its potential benefits. Finally, it discusses potential directions for future research and stresses how important it is to conduct more research in a field that is changing very rapidly.
