We propose a model for the localization of risky information in social (scale free) networks where we assume that risky information can propagate only between “mutually trusted nodes” (MTN). We propose an algorithm to construct the MTN network and show that there is a critical value m¯c2 of...

We use Monte Carlo simulations and arguments from percolation theory in order to determine how “confidential” information propagates or localizes on a scale-free network. The basic assumption of our models is that this type of information propagates through the subnetwork of “best...
