This chapter gives information about the most important aspects in how computing infrastructures should be configured and intelligently managed to fulfill the most notably security aspects required by big data applications. Big data is one area where we can store, extract, and process a large amount of data. All these data are very often unstructured. Using big data, security functions are required to work over the heterogeneous composition of diverse hardware, operating systems, and network domains. A clearly defined security boundary like firewalls and demilitarized zones (DMZs), conventional security solutions, are not effective for big data as it expands with the help of public clouds. This chapter discusses the different concepts like characteristics, risks, life cycle, and data collection of big data, map reduce components, issues and challenges in big data, cloud secure alliance, approaches to solve security issues, introduction of cybercrime, YARN, and Hadoop components.

Information security is a prime goal for every individual and organization. The travelling from client to cloud server can be prone to security issues. The big data storages are available through cloud computing system to facilitate mobile client. The information security can be provided to mobile client and cloud technology with the help of integrated parallel and distributed encryption and decryption mechanism. The traditional technologies include the plaintext stored across cloud and can be prone to security issues. The solution provided by applying the encrypted data upload and encrypted search. The clouds can work in collaboration; therefore, the encryption can also be done in collaboration. Some part of encryption handle by client and other part handled by cloud system. This chapter presents the security scenario of different security algorithms and the concept of mobile and cloud computing. This chapter precisely defines the security features of existing cloud and big data system and provides the new framework that helps to improve the data security over cloud computing and big data security system.

Abstract. The project of smart cities has emerged as a response to the challenges of twenty-first- century urbanization. Solutions to the fundamental conundrum of cities revolving around efficiency, convenience and security keep being sought by leveraging technology. Notwithstanding all the conveniences furnished by a smart city to all the citizens, privacy of a citizen is intertwined with the benefits of a smart city. The development processes which overlook privacy and security issues have left many of the smart city applications vulnerable to non-conventional security threats and susceptible to numerous privacy and personal data spillage risks. Among the challenges the smart city initiatives encounter, the emergence of the smartphone-big data-the cloud coalescence is perhaps the greatest, from the viewpoint of privacy and personal data protection. As our cities are getting digitalized, information comprising citizens' behavior, choices, and mobility, as well as their personal assets are shared over smartphone-big data-the cloud coalescences, thereby expanding cyber-threat surface and creating different security concerns. This coalescence refers to the practices of creating and analyzing vast sets of data, which comprise personal information. In this paper, the protection of privacy and personal data issues in the big data environment of smart cities are viewed through bifocal lenses, focusing on social and technical aspects. The protection of personal data and privacy in smart city enterprises is treated as a socio-technological operation where various actors and factors undertake different tasks. The article concludes by calling for novel developments, conceptual and practical changes both in technological and social realms.

Big Data has become more popular, as it can provide on-demand, reliable and flexible services to users such as storage and its processing. The data security has become a major issue in the Big data. The open source HDFS software is used to store huge amount of data with high throughput and fault tolerance and Map Reduce is used for its computations and processing. However, it is a significant target in the Hadoop system, security model was not designed and became the major drawback of Hadoop software. In terms of storage, meta data security, sensitive data  and also the data security will be an serious issue in HDFS. With the importance of Hadoop in today's enterprises, there is also an increasing trend in providing a high security features in enterprises. Over recent years, only some level of security in Hadoop such as Kerberos and Transparent Data Encryption(TDE),Encryption techniques, hash techniques are shown for Hadoop. This paper, shows the efforts that are made to present Hadoop Authorization security issues using Apache Sentry in HDFS.
