Abstract At present, social networks have become an indispensable medium in people's daily life and work. However, concerns about personal privacy leakage and identity information theft have also emerged. Therefore, a communication network system based on network slicing is constructed to strengthen the protection of communication network privacy. The chameleon hash algorithm is used to optimize attribute-based encryption and enhance the privacy protection of communication networks. On the basis of optimizing the combination of attribute encryption and homomorphic encryption,, a communication network privacy protection method using homomorphic encryption for network slicing and attribute is designed. The results show that the designed network energy consumption is low, the average energy consumption calculation is reduced by 8.69%, and the average energy consumption calculation is reduced by 14.3%. During data transmission, the throughput of the designed network can reach about 700 Mbps at each stage, which has a high efficiency.. The above results demonstrate that the designed communication network provides effective privacy protection. Encrypted data can be decrypted and tracked in the event of any security incident. This is to protect user privacy and provide strong technical support for communication network security.
