Background of the Study
In educational institutions like Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State, secure file sharing is essential to protect sensitive academic, administrative, and research data. The university’s network is used extensively for file transfers between students, faculty, and staff, making it a prime target for cyber threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware attacks (Abdullahi et al., 2023). To mitigate these risks, a secure file sharing system is crucial to ensure that files are exchanged safely and with proper access control mechanisms in place.
A secure file sharing system typically incorporates encryption, authentication, and authorization protocols to protect data during transmission and ensure that only authorized individuals can access or modify the files. Techniques such as end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure file storage systems can significantly improve the security of file exchanges on a campus network (Adeyemo et al., 2024). This study aims to design and implement a secure file sharing system tailored to the needs of Federal University, Kashere, to address security concerns and facilitate safe data exchanges within the university’s digital environment.
The growing reliance on digital tools for academic and administrative purposes underscores the need for a robust system to safeguard file transfers, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure the integrity of sensitive data.
Statement of the Problem
The lack of a secure and efficient file sharing system at Federal University, Kashere, exposes the institution to significant security risks, including unauthorized access, data corruption, and leaks of sensitive academic and administrative files. This insecurity can lead to data breaches, loss of intellectual property, and breaches of privacy for students and staff. Therefore, there is a need for a secure file sharing system to protect against these potential threats.
