The exponential growth of big data has revolutionized industries and research, offering unprecedented opportunities for analysis and decision-making. However, with this expansion comes a critical concern over the privacy and security of sensitive information. Privacy-enhancing cryptographic techniques (PECTs) play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by enabling secure data analysis without compromising individual privacy. This article explores various PECTs, including homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation (SMPC), and differential privacy, evaluating their effectiveness in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and utility of big data. Additionally, the integration of these techniques with emerging technologies such as machine learning and blockchain is discussed. The paper concludes by examining the current challenges and the future prospects of privacy-preserving cryptographic methods in the era of big data.
