A Proposed Framework for Secure Data Storage in a Big Data Environment Based on Blockchain and Mobile Agent

The sum of Big Data generated from different sources is increasing significantly with each passing day to extent that it is becoming challenging for traditional storage methods to store this massive amount of data. For this reason, most organizations have resolved to use third-party cloud storage to...
