However, one of the most important problems that hinders the unanimous adoption of Big Data is the lack of security and privacy protection of information in the Big Data tools. In this paper we contribute to reinforcing the security of Big Data platforms by proposing a blockchain-based access control framework. We define the concept of blockchain and breakdown the mechanism and principles of the access control framework. Keywords: Big Data, Access Control, BlockChain, Information Security, Privacy, Authorization. 1 INTRODUCTION Generally, the systems are not compromised due to the exploitation of the vulnerabilities of Big data designate a voluminous set of data that no communication protocols or cryptographic conventional database management or information primitives. Most of the breaches come from the bad management tool can really analyze. In fact, we configuration of access control and authentication generate about quintillion bytes of data every day [1]. These are the informations coming from policies. So Authentication and access control technologies everywhere: messages that we send, videos we are the main elements to address the security and publish, climate information, GPS signals, privacy issues in Big Data. Actually, any effective transactional online shopping records and .
