Abstract

Front end technology with permanent accounts is employed in online social networks to help people get to know one another. In an effort to maintain connection with everyone, Facebook and Twitter are changing along with the users. OSNs are used by them for planning events, news exchange, interpersonal communication, and even running their own online enterprises. Because of OSNs' quick growth and the abundance of personal data that its users have shared, attackers and imposters have been lured to them with the intention of stealing personal information, spreading disruptive activities, and publishing false information. A further rationale for creating fictitious profiles for hateful accounts. In an attempt to harm the reputation of the person they detest, these users make profiles using their usernames and publish photographs and articles that aren't related to them. to use blockchain technology, Aadhar number verification, and SVM profile classification to create a reliable solution for detecting phoney social network profiles. By analysing several aspects of social media profiles, the SVM classification uses machine learning to discern between real and fraudulent accounts. By verifying Aadhar numbers through legitimate channels, Aadhar number verification is integrated into the registration process, guaranteeing the authenticity of user identities. A decentralised and secure identity management system is made possible by the use of blockchain technology, with smart contracts providing immutable storage for verified user data.
