Overview of big data information privacy protection technology and challenges

Abstract

With the rapid development of advanced technologies like the mobile internet, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, the era of big data is gradually upon us. In this era, big data has been widely utilized in various fields like business, finance, social networking, and healthcare, and the value of data has become increasingly prominent. Data has become a new factor of production, the digital economy has become a new engine of development, and an important driving force for promoting social progress and economic development. However, with the advancement of big data technology, the risks of data leakage and misuse have increased. Personal data information leakage or misuse can lead to personal privacy infringement and fraud, such as the Sina Weibo data leak in March 2020 where attackers breached part of the Sina Weibo database, obtaining sensitive data including real names, website usernames, genders, locations, and phone numbers, impacting 538 million Weibo users. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for data information privacy protection. This paper will explore the core technologies and application scenarios in data information privacy protection and investigate data privacy protection in real-life settings.
