Because of the growing popularity of Social Networking portals, many people are entrusting their personal information to these social media. Information security has steadily grown to be a major concern. Recent research has suggested that a Decentralized Social Network could be a viable solution for information security. However, there is a need for a decentralized Social Network system that includes all important functionalities. In this paper, we propose a prototype that is decentralized in structure. Our research demonstrates that the proposed architecture not only protects data privacy but it also improves communication efficiency.
