The invention discloses a big data network data protection method and system based on edge computing, including: S1, determining the computing power level of the client; S2, determining the data encryption strength; S3, judging whether the computing power level of the client can meet Encryption strength requirements, if yes, execute step S4, if not, execute step S5; S4, slowly encrypt the plaintext password to obtain the first temporary password, execute step S8; S5, the application server selects multiple other connected clients, and sends the plaintext The password, salt, and encryption strength are sent to the selected client; S6, the selected client slowly encrypts the plaintext password to obtain the second temporary password; S7, the application server determines the first temporary password based on the received multiple second temporary passwords; S8. The server fast-encrypts the first temporary password to obtain an encrypted password, and saves the user name, salt, and the encrypted password. The invention realizes an effective balance between security protection and computing performance, and has high data security.
