Enhancing Approach for Information Security in Hadoop

Abstract

Using the Hadoop package, a proposed secure cloud computing system was designed. Hadoop would use the area to establish and enhance the security for saving and managing user data. Apache had also produced a software tool termed Hadoop to overcome this big data problem which often uses MapReduce architecture to process vast amounts of data. Hadoop has no strategy to assure the security and privacy of the files stored in Hadoop distributed File system (HDFS). As an encryption scheme of the files stored in HDFS, an asymmetric key cryptosystem is advocated. Thus before saving data in HDFS, the proposed hybrid based on (RSA, and Rabin) cipher would encrypt the data. The user of the cloud might upload files in two ways, non-safe or secure upload files.
