Online social media network has become part of human life by transforming the way users create new social relations or relate with family and friends. Online social network (OSN) has drastically increased the rate at which people interact with each other by simplifying the means of communication. However, privacy is raising a serious concern. All user generated data within the OSN system need to be protected against unauthorized friends or hackers or even against the provider of OSN. Many research works are going on to encounter the privacy issues in OSN. This paper analyses the limitations of the recent work being done in this field and proposes an efficient abstract solution to them.
