Background of the Study
The shift to online learning in universities has become more prominent, especially in the wake of the global pandemic, necessitating the development of reliable, secure, and efficient video conferencing systems. Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, like many other academic institutions, has increasingly relied on video conferencing platforms to facilitate learning and lectures in an online environment. However, the security of these platforms has raised concerns, particularly regarding data privacy, unauthorized access, and potential cyberattacks on students' and lecturers' personal data (Akinleye & Agboola, 2023).
Existing video conferencing systems often suffer from security vulnerabilities, such as inadequate encryption, session hijacking, and issues related to data leakage. The need for secure communication channels is paramount in an academic setting where confidential discussions, research presentations, and evaluations are routinely carried out online (Musa et al., 2024). Integrating robust security measures into video conferencing systems can significantly enhance the protection of sensitive information while ensuring the continuity of academic activities. This study focuses on designing a secure video conferencing system tailored for online learning at Federal University, Birnin Kebbi.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, faces significant security challenges regarding its current video conferencing solutions, which may not fully protect the privacy of participants and the integrity of academic data. The university’s online learning environment is susceptible to cyberattacks, such as eavesdropping, unauthorized access to meetings, and data interception.
This study aims to address these vulnerabilities by designing a secure video conferencing system that incorporates encryption, authentication, and access control mechanisms, ensuring a safe and uninterrupted online learning experience.
