Differential privacy protection technology and its application in big data environment

Abstract

The privacy protection in big data is a research hotspot in the field of cyberspace security.As a strict and provable definition of privacy protection,studying application status of differential privacy protection in big data environment can provide reference and guidance for its subsequent system applications.Based on the analysis of the related concepts and technical characteristics of differential privacy protection,the application of differential privacy protection technology was reviewed in data distribution and analysis,cloud computing and big data computing,location and trajectory services and social networks,which expounded the current representative research results and analyzed its existing problems.The research shows that the existing results have made effective innovation and exploration of differential privacy protection applications from the aspects of differential privacy protection mechanism,noise addition mechanism and location,and data processing methods,and the related results have been cross-applied in different scenarios.Finally,four major problems that need to be studied in the further systematic application of differential privacy protection in the big data environment are proposed.
