Abstract:

Big data constitutes a core technology for smart agriculture. However, there are a number of issues related to security with big data that could limit progress with smart agriculture. Following the speedy development of blockchain technology and in light of its intrinsic security characteristics. Big data could provide a new driving force and means for big data to be safely applied. This paper addresses some challenges related to supporting the safe development of big data. Briefly described the current status of China's agriculture and the background of the development of smart agriculture. Regarding basic issues concerning smart agriculture, a systematic study is made of the mutual relationship between agricultural big data security and blockchain technology which involves a brief introduction to the significance of big data, existing risks of big data, current challenges, and measures to promote bigdata safety. Comprehensive analyzed the security characteristics of the blockchain, described the supporting status and roles of blockchain in big data security, and explained three core directions of blockchain data security, which are data confidentiality, integrality, and availability. In conclusion, proposed suggestions and future applications on how to use blockchain to help the security of big data development.

Key words: smart agriculture, blockchain, data security, blockchain in agriculture, big data, big data in agriculture, data sharing
