A Decentralized Online Social Network (DOSN) is an Online Social Network that is a decentralized network.

AKA: Decentralized Online Social Networking System, Decentralized Online Social Networking Service.
Context:
- It is usually a Distributed Social Network.
- It can require Decentralized Online Social Network Server.
- It can implement a Decentralized Online Social Networking Protocol.
Example(s):
Counter-Example(s):
See: Decentralized Web, Centralized Network, Decentralized Data Hosting System, Centralized Computing System, Peer-to-Peer Storage System, Super-Peer-based DOSN, Peer-to-Peer Virtual Community Network.

- QUOTE: The results of the comparison are summarized in Fig. 1. The solutions of the investigated concepts of PeerSoN (Buchegger et al., 2009), Priv.io (Zhang and Mislove, 2013), Safebook (Cutillo et al., 2011), and SuperNova (Sharma & Datta, 2012) are based on a peer-to-peer approach. The concepts PrPl (Seong et al., 2010), SlopPy (Gambs & Lolive, 2012), and Vis-à-Vis (Shakimov et al., 2011) are based on distributed applications and on server solutions as well as cloud solutions that are self-managed by the user. As a common ground of these concepts, all parties are expected to run and manage their own cloud system. The eight already mentioned systems will now be explained shortly and examined with regard to their currently unsolved problems.

- QUOTE: We propose DECENT, an architecture for enforcing access control in a decentralized OSN. Our focus is on providing data confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the presence of malicious nodes in a distributed setting. Our architecture is also able to protect the privacy of user relationships. DECENT is based around a flexible object-oriented design (OOD) that supports the main functionality of OSNs and captures the complex multi-principal interactions that are common in social networks. The confidentiality and integrity of data are protected by a cryptographic mechanism so that they can be stored in untrusted nodes in a distributed hash table (DHT). The standard DHT mechanisms are extended to ensure availability despite malicious attempts to erase or overwrite stored data.

- QUOTE: Decentralized social networking has been a largely parallel, sometimes overlapping line of development with similar motivations. We subdivide such social networks into federated (ecosystem of interoperable implementations in the client-server model) and distributed (peer-to-peer). The term distributed social networking is frequently but incorrectly used to describe all decentralized social networks.

- QUOTE: The search for alternatives to centralization of personal data began in the late 1990s, however, web community and academic computer scientists dismissed social networks until 2007 (Narayanan et al., 2012). Open-source communities launched several social network in last few years based on decentralization principles, some examples are Diaspora, Friendica, OpenSocial, Noserub, Buddycloud, etc. aimed to attract non-technical users. Academic research has focused on decentralized online social network (DOSN) mainly because it presents more challenges. Some Academic research DOSN prototypes examples are: PeerSoN (Buchegger et al., 2009) , Vis-a-Vis (Shakimov et al., 2011), SafeBook (Cutillo et al., 2011), PrPl (Seong et al., 2010), SuperNova (Sharma & Datta, 2012) and DECENT (Jahid et al., 2012).

- QUOTE: We propose a new architecture for realizing decentralized online social networks (DOSNs) which is a super-peers based network of volunteer agents (hence the name, SuperNova). We have arrived at such a super-peer based design guided by our past experiences in implementing and experimenting with the PeerSoN DOSN (Buchegger et al., 2009) and other decentralized social information systems (Datta, 2010) relying on other ‘flat’ architectures, as well as based on insights obtained from some theoretical works (Rzadca et al., 2010). The proposed SuperNova architecture allows the system to self-organize by leveraging on heterogeneity, which may arise due to various reasons including altruistic behavior of participants as well as various incentive mechanisms.
