The rapid evolution of social information and networks has resulted in an unprecedented surge in data growth. This has given rise to various forms of big data, presenting opportunities for researchers to make informed business decisions by analyzing this data. However, several challenges persist, particularly in the areas of data security and privacy.

Big data security and privacy threats permeate every link of the big data industry chain, including data production, collection, processing, and sharing. The causes of these risks are multifaceted and interconnected, making them difficult to mitigate. Blockchain technology, on the other hand, has garnered significant attention and recognition for its decentralized infrastructure, anonymity, security, and other desirable characteristics. It holds the potential to revolutionize the way we access and share information.

In this book, the author aims to demonstrate how blockchain technology can overcome some limitations of big data technology while simultaneously promoting the development of big data and helping to address security and privacy challenges. The author conducts a thorough investigation into research and applications of blockchain technology in the realm of big data and assesses the associated advantages and challenges. Additionally, the author discusses the potential future directions of the convergence of blockchain and big data.

By mastering the concepts and technologies introduced in this work, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the technical evolution, similarities, and differences between blockchain and big data technology. This knowledge will empower them to further apply these technologies in their development and research endeavors.
