Security and Privacy in Big Data Environment

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:

Abstract

With the Big Data been increasingly used nowadays across multiple domains, viz., science, engineering, commercial fields, and so on, it has become an interest of research as there is growing concern over Big Data security and privacy of individuals involved. This entry delineates a study regarding issues, benefits, and challenges of security and privacy of Big Data in the cloud and will discuss research challenges and directions concerning data confidentiality, privacy, and trustworthiness in the context of Big Data. Key research issues discussed in this paper include enormous benefits and challenges regarding security and privacy in Big Data and some techniques to enforce security in Big Data stores.
