A Sticky Policy Framework for Big Data Security

Big data security is one of the hottest research topics in big data computing and service applications, because of the lack of research results and mature security technologies and solutions to provide adequate big data security. Big data security faces the need to effectively enforce security policies to protect sensitive data. Trying to satisfy this need, a security policy solution is presented in the paper. Firstly, an implementation independent and fine-grained policy meta-model is proposed for abstraction from underlying technologies and better reuse. Then, a sticky policy framework is adopted with policy enforcement and evaluation discussed in detail. Finally, a healthcare scenario is used to evaluate the process of policy modeling and enforcement.
