Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for providing access to big data is disclosed. The method includes receiving biometric data of a user to provide access to columns of a table storing the big data, wherein one or more columns of the table are masked based on one or more data parameters and authenticating the user by comparing the biometric data of the user with pre-stored biometric data, wherein the pre-stored biometric data is retrieved from a biometric database. Further, the method includes providing upon the authentication, selective access to each column of the table based on a pre-defined user privilege for each column.
Claims17
A method for providing access to big data, the method comprising:
- selective masking, by a data access device, of one or more columns of a table storing the big data based on one or more data parameters that define levels of security needed, wherein the one or more data parameters comprises data frequency, data source, data type, and content format;
- receiving, by the data access device, biometric data of a user to provide access to the masked columns of the table storing the big data;
- authenticating, by the data access device, the user by comparing the biometric data of the user with pre-stored biometric data, wherein the pre-stored biometric data is retrieved from a biometric database;
- and
- providing, by the data access device, upon the authentication, selective access to a masked column of the table based on a pre-defined user privilege for the masked column.
A data access device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
- selectively mask one or more columns of a table to store big data based on one or more data parameters that define levels of security needed, wherein the one or more data parameters comprises data frequency, data source, data type, and content format;
- receive biometric data of a user to provide access to the masked columns of the table storing the big data;
- authenticate the user by comparing the biometric data of the user with pre-stored biometric data, wherein the pre-stored biometric data is retrieved from a biometric database;
- and
- provide upon the authentication, selective access to a masked column of the table based on a pre-defined user privilege for the masked column.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions for causing a computer comprising one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
- selective masking of one or more columns of a table storing big data based on one or more data parameters that define levels of security needed, wherein the one or more data parameters comprises data frequency, data source, data type, and content format;
- receiving biometric data of a user to provide access to the masked columns of a table storing the big data;
- authenticating the user by comparing the biometric data of the user with pre-stored biometric data, wherein the pre-stored biometric data is retrieved from a biometric database;
- and
- providing upon the authentication, selective access to a masked column of the table based on a pre-defined user privilege for the masked column.
