An application area of increasing importance is creating agent-based simulations to model human societies. One component of developing these simulations is the ability to generate realistic human social networks. Online social networking websites, such as Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, have increased in popularity in the last decade. Despite the increase in online social networking tools and the importance of studying human behavior in these networks, collecting data directly from these networks is not always feasible due to privacy concerns. Previous work in this area has primarily been limited to 1) network generators that aim to duplicate a small subset of the original network's properties and 2) problem-specific generators for applications such as the evaluation of community detection algorithms. In this thesis, we extended two synthetic network generators to enable them to duplicate the properties of a specific dataset. In the first generator, we consider feature similarity and label homophily among individuals when forming links. The second generator is designed to handle multiplex networks that contain different link types. We evaluate the performance of both generators on existing real-world social network datasets, as well as comparing our methods with a related synthetic network generator. In this thesis, we demonstrate that the proposed synthetic network generators are both time efficient and require only limited parameter optimization.

Les technologies de l'Internet des objets (IdO) et de l'externalisation des services informatiques ont conduit à l'émergence de nouvelles menace sur la vie privée des utilisateurs. Cependant, l'implémentation des moyens de sécurité traditionnels sur les équipements de l'IdO constitue un premier défi lié aux limites de capacités. D'un autre côté, la délégation du traitement et du stockage des données, nous pose le problème de confiance envers les fournisseurs de service.Dans ce contexte, nous avons proposé une solution de chiffrement qui assure une protection de données centrée sur leurs propriétaires et adaptée à l'environnement contraignant des objets connectés. Ce modèle se base sur le chiffrement par attributs avec externalisation sécurisée et la technologie de la Blockchain. Ensuite, en réponse à la problématique de la confiance et de la sélection du service, nous avons exploré les possibilités offertes par les outils de l'intelligence artificielle. Pour ce faire, nous avons proposé un modèle de filtrage collaboratif basé sur les cartes de Kohonen avec une solution pour détecter les utilisateurs non fiable. / Internet of Things (IoT) and IT service outsourcing technologies have led to the emergence of new threats to users' privacy. However, the implementation of traditional security measures on IoT equipment is a first challenge due to capacity limitations. On the other hand, the offloading of data processing and storage poses the problem of trust in service providers.In this context, we have proposed an encryption solution that provides owner-centric data protection adapted to the constraining environment of IoT. This model is based on attribute-based encryption with secure offloading capability and Blockchain technology. Then, in response to the issue of trust and service selection, we explored the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence tools. To do this, we proposed a collaborative filtering model based on Kohonen maps and efficient solution to detect the untrusted users.

This thesis deals with the topic of attribute based credentials with revocable anonymous credentials. The main focus of this work is the implementation of this scheme through a web application. The web application serves primarily as a visualization, which shows the functionality of this scheme through animations, and also as a practical demonstrator. Data and cryptographic calculations for individual system protocols are provided by the given cryptographic C application that communicates with the created application. The web application is also able to communicate with the connected smart card reader and the MultOS smart card and thus create the transmission of APDU commands and responses between the smart card and provided C application.
