Abstract
A lot of privacy issues exist in the social network for its data information is excessively public and spreads quickly. This paper presents a method of modeling the social networking system and verifying its privacy policy based on the temporal logic programming language MSVL, which is an executable subset of Projection Temporal Logic. First of all, select an appropriate social networking system and simplify it. Then, model the system with an MSVL program and describe its privacy policy with a Propositional Projection Temporal Logic formula. Next, execute the program with the formula in the modeling, simulation and verification platform of MSVL. Finally, we can improve or modify the verified privacy policy according to the results.
