Design and Development of an Algorithm to Secure Big Data on Cloud Computing

Abstract

In any organization, data is coming from various online sources and various offline sources. It is very difficult to equipment huge amount of data. Big data is one of the technologies who tackle huge amount of data easily. Cloud computing is a platform for big data. Although there are vast number of advantages for big data and cloud computing, they failed to make their place in people heart as people are anxious about security of their data. They are huge number of advantages we gain if we move big data on cloud computing like on-demand service availability, availability of data and information on Internet, resources grouping, easy to manage, easy to analyze large volume of big data, and most important is cost effective. Although there are numerous advantages to moving big data on cloud computing, we cannot avoid challenges to big data and cloud computing. The various challenges to big data are cost, data quality, rapid change, skilled man power requirement, infrastructure need, moving data onto big data platform, need for synchronization across data sources, and most important is security of data. These all challenges are not going to be easily solved; various researches are going on to solve all these problems. In this paper, we provide review about various research done in the area of security of big data on cloud computing, and finally, we provide research plan for our project regarding security of big data on cloud computing.
