ABSTRACT

Networking has become an indispensable part of the modern world, providing convenient access to the Internet, remote communication, and information exchange. Big data also has a great influence on networking. Networked big data, in fact, is not simply another way of saying "analytics" or large amount of data. In addition to the common features of veracity and value, networked big data has higher volume, velocity, and variety compared with other forms of big data. A network application in the era of big data usually involves data sources from different geographically distributed data centers. Under the distributed and decentralized control of large volume, heterogeneous, autonomous sources, big data seeks to explore the complex and ever-changing relationship among data. Networked big data possesses unstructured, semistructured, and structured formats. Big data security issues are related to a set of risk areas, which includes information lifecycle, data creation, and collection processes.
