Background of the Study
With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for research, administration, and communication, universities are prime targets for cyberattacks. Traditional security measures often fail to prevent sophisticated attacks such as data breaches, insider threats, and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks (Olawale et al., 2023). Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing network security due to its decentralized, immutable, and transparent nature (Chukwudi & Yusuf, 2024).
Blockchain offers enhanced security by storing data in distributed ledgers, making unauthorized modifications nearly impossible. Additionally, it enables smart contracts and cryptographic verification, reducing the risk of cyber threats (Ahmed & Bello, 2024). This study explores the potential of blockchain in strengthening the network security framework of Federal University, Kashere, and proposes an implementation strategy tailored to the institution’s needs.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Kashere, faces security challenges such as unauthorized data access, cyber threats, and network vulnerabilities. Traditional security models rely on centralized authentication mechanisms that are prone to breaches and single points of failure. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized approach to security, yet its adoption in university networks remains limited due to technical and infrastructural challenges. This study aims to examine how blockchain can be integrated into the university’s security framework to enhance protection against cyber threats.
