Image sharing is the new cool feature which is successful in ruling Online Social Networks (OSNs). Unknowingly, it
may expose users¶ privacy if they can post, comment, and tag a photo without any restriction. In this paper, we are attempting to
address this issue and study the scenario when a user shares a photo containing individuals¶ other than himself/ herself (referred as
co-photo for short). To refrain the possible privacy leakage of a photograph, we are suggesting an approach to entitle everyone in a
photo to acknowledge the act of image posting and enable them to be a decisive authority on the photo sharing. To achieve this feat,
we require coherent facial recognition (FR) system to identify everyone in the photo. However, as the need of the privacy concerns
in people increases it may limit the publicly available photos to train the FR system. To deal with this trauma, we suggest an approach
to consider private photos to design personalized FR system which can be trained to recognize possible co-owners without
compromising their privacy. With our suggested approach, we think the computational complexity will reduce as we are not relying
on the photos available on social platform for the training purpose but instead asking users to provide their photos from their gallery
which is reliable source and the private training set is also not exposed on the platform to maintain secrecy about this dataset.

Photo sharing is amongst the top activities on online
social networks such as facebook and it has got lot of
popularity in recent times. Unfortunately, and unwillingly
careless photo post, may reveal individual¶s
privacy appearing in a photo. To get rid of the privacy
concern, we have proposed an approach which enables
everyone appearing in a photo to give permission before
photo is getting posted publicly on a platform. We
have designed a privacy preserving FR system to identify
each individual in a photo. This system has pure
confidentiality of the photos used for training. We have
carried out experiment with standard database to show
the effectiveness and the capability of the system to
protect the privacy of the user. The analysis carried out
shows the efficiency of the system; with the Face94db
we observed that the identification of a user when his
photo is given to the system it identified the user correctly
in all of the three Eigen, RGB pixel comparison
and fisher algorithms correctly. All of the test data for
11 users; 5 photos each recognized correctly.
