In recent years, the fast-paced development of social information and networks has led to the explosive growth of data. A variety of Big Data have emerged, encouraging researchers to make business decisions by analysing this data. However, many challenges remain, especially concerning data security and privacy.

Big Data security and privacy threats permeate every link of the Big Data industry chain, such as data production, collection, processing, and sharing, and the causes of risk are complex and interwoven. Blockchain technology has been highly praised and recognised for its decentralised infrastructure, anonymity, security, and other characteristics, and it will change the way we access and share information. In this book, the author demonstrates how blockchain technology can overcome some limitations in Big Data technology and can promote the development of Big Data while also helping to overcome security and privacy challenges.

The author investigates research into and the application of blockchain technology in the field of Big Data and assesses the attendant advantages and challenges while discussing the possible future directions of the convergence of blockchain and Big Data. After mastering concepts and technologies introduced in this work, readers will be able to understand the technical evolution, similarities, and differences between blockchain and Big Data technology, allowing them to further apply it in their development and research.

The book consists of seven parts:

The Preface introduces the background and the structure of the book, including the current state of the big data economy and the value interconnectedness of blockchain technology.
Chapter 1 presents big data technology, including the history of big data and the key technologies of big data.
Chapter 2 provides an introduction and interpretation of blockchain technology, starting with Bitcoin, including some basic concepts of blockchain technology as well as the history of its development and key technologies.
Chapter 3 talks about the symbiotic evolution of the two technologies, big data and blockchain, and how the two technologies intersect and develop. It also explains the similarities and differences between the two technologies.
Chapter 4 focuses on some of the advantages and possible challenges of combining blockchain technology and big data technology.
Chapter 5 addresses some possible application scenarios of the two technologies in real life and some scenarios that have already been grounded.
In Chapter 6, we discuss the possible future direction of the combination of the two technologies.
