Big Data Security and Privacy
“Welcome to the web page of the Big Data Security and Privacy Course taught at UT Dallas. We have taught this course during Fall 2020, Fall 2021, Fall 2022, and Fall 2023. The material was developed on an NSF Grant. The lectures are divided into six modules as follows: (i) Background for Big Data Security and Privacy, (ii) Concepts in Big Data Security and Privacy, (iii) Infrastructure for Big data Security and Privacy based on Cloud Computing, (iv) Big Data Security and Privacy Functions, Applications for Big data Security and Privacy based on Social Media, and (vi) Emerging Directions for Big Data Security and Privacy. The lectures are based on the course we taught in Fall 2022. The course was evaluated by an independent evaluation in Fall 2022 and out findings were published in the Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Big Data Security in May 2024.”
