There are quite a few projects that are looking into this. I myself am part of a TSB (part government funded research) project involving securing data in the cloud. Generally the data is secured in a layer on top of hadoop rather than specifically as part of hadoop itself.
Our solution essentially involves encrypting data within the HDFS and providing mechanisms for hadoop to decrypt, use, then re-encrypt the results. It also provides mechanisms for secure deletion of data when it's not required anymore (that's actually a minor patch within HDFS, rather than on top if it though) Contact me if you need more information, we are about to start trials in the next few months. — Sent from Mailbox for iPhone On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 5:36 AM, Abhay Dandekar <dandekar.ab...@gmail.com> wrote: > Data security is one of the major challenges being faced for Hadoop > computing.
