A Novel Encryption Scheme for Securing Data in HDFS Environment Inspired By DNA

Abstract

Today, the majority of industries used Hadoop for processing their data. Hadoop is an open-source and programming based framework that has many components. One of them is HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Files System) that is used to stored data. Hadoop by default does not have any security mechanism. According to the previous study authentication, authorization, and Data encryption are the principal techniques to enhance the security in HDFS. As huge volume of data is stored in HDFS, encryption of massive data will consume more time and need more resources for operations. In this paper we have developed one DNA based that used confusion and Diffusion for securing data in HDFS. This proposed algorithm is efficient as compared to other encryption algorithm.
