Background of the Study
Digital identity systems have become integral to the management of student and faculty records in universities. Federal University, Gashua, Yobe State, requires a reliable method to manage and verify the identities of its students, faculty, and staff members, especially as more administrative processes and academic activities are digitized. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and tamper-resistant nature, offers a promising solution for secure digital identity management (Adeyemi & Yusuf, 2024).
Traditional identity systems face challenges such as identity theft, unauthorized access, and manipulation of records. Blockchain’s ability to provide transparent, immutable, and secure storage of personal information has made it an attractive option for universities looking to upgrade their digital identity systems (Ogunwale et al., 2023). By implementing a blockchain-based digital identity system, Federal University, Gashua, can enhance security, ensure the integrity of academic and administrative records, and enable seamless and trusted interactions between the university and external systems.
This study explores the development of a blockchain-based digital identity system for Federal University, Gashua, with a focus on ensuring secure, efficient, and decentralized management of users' identities.
