A big data security layer meta-model proposition

Abstract

In Big Data, several solution providers offer distributions to handle this large amount of data. Given the variety of these solutions, we are working to provide universal meta-modeling for all layers of a Big Data system in order to address the issue of interoperability and portability between these solutions. As part of our continuous efforts to standardize concepts in Big Data world, we apply in this paper techniques related to Model-Driven Engineering "MDE" to propose a meta-model for the security layer in Big Data. This meta-model with the others that we have already proposed for the other layers of the Big Data system, will be used as a platform-independent according to Model-Driven Architecture pattern, which describes the structures of Big Data layers independently of any specific platform.
