A survey of security and privacy in big data

Big data has been arising a growing interest in both scientific and industrial fields for its potential value. However, before employing big data technology into massive applications, a basic but also principle topic should be investigated: security and privacy. In this paper, the recent research and development on security and privacy in big data is surveyed. First, the effects of characteristics of big data on information security and privacy are described. Then, topics and issues on security are discussed and reviewed. Further, privacy-preserving trajectory data publishing is studied due to its future utilization, especially in telecom operation.
