Innovative Approach of Data Encryption Algorithm for Securing Big Data

Abstract

Nowadays, a large amount of data that is growing exponentially is known as Big data. In other words, big data contains more variety and comes in big volume with more velocity. Traditional processing software cannot handle complex and big amounts of data, but this data addresses a lot of business problems, that could not be able to tackle before so to deal with this data, open-source software HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) is used as a cloud storage system. Big Data Security is a collective term used for all measures and tools that are used to guard data and analytics processes used for accessing the data. Big data is a joint term and tool for data and data management systems against attacks, thefts, or other malicious activities that could harm or negatively affect them so server and serverless systems both are major concerned with high security of data. The author’s research presents data security in the cloud computing environment in this paper. HDFS does not provide any scheme of encryption and decryption for securing the data, HDFS act as a storage medium that stores data in Avro format. Users use the encryption key and encryption zone to encrypt their data into HDFS.
