General survey on massive data encryption

With the rapid development of Cloud computing, Internet of Things and social network technologies, the network data are increasing dramatically. The security of massive data interaction has attracted more and more attention in recently years. This paper discusses the encryption principles, advantages and disadvantages of some mainstream massive data encryption technologies, i.e., the encryption technology based on modern cryptosystem, the encryption technology based on parallel and distributed computing, the encryption technology based on biological engineering, and Attribute-based massive data encryption technology. Finally, we outlook the need-to-be solved problems and development trend of the massive data encryption technology.
