A Study on Big Data Privacy in Cross-Industrial Challenges and Legal Implications

Abstract

Data privacy (also known as information privacy or data protection) refers to the legal right of the data subject to access, use, and collection of data. For the development of a digital economy, privacy protection and identity management are critical. The current regulatory framework's efficiency has been called into consideration from a legal standpoint. In both industry and academia, big data has become a hot issue for research. This chapter presents a succinct but comprehensive examination of data security and privacy issues at all phases of the data life cycle. The chapter then goes over some of the current solutions. Finally, this chapter discusses future research projects related to data security and privacy protection. It further explores other facets of the privacy problem that turn out to be critical for the broad adoption of privacy-enhancing technology, giving a more holistic picture of the situation.
