Background of the Study
Blockchain technology is revolutionizing data security by providing a decentralized, tamper-proof system for secure transactions. Unlike traditional databases that rely on centralized control, blockchain distributes data across multiple nodes, making it highly resistant to cyberattacks and unauthorized modifications. The use of cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms ensures data integrity, transparency, and security.
Federal University, Kashere, handles a vast amount of sensitive academic and administrative data, including student records, financial transactions, and research documents. Traditional data management systems are vulnerable to cyber threats such as hacking, data breaches, and insider attacks. Implementing blockchain technology can significantly enhance data security by providing an immutable and transparent ledger for secure transactions within the university.
Statement of the Problem
Data security remains a major challenge in universities, with frequent incidents of unauthorized access, data breaches, and loss of academic records. Federal University, Kashere, relies on conventional database systems that are susceptible to hacking and data corruption. The absence of a decentralized security framework increases the risk of cyberattacks.
Despite the potential of blockchain in securing data transactions, its implementation in academic institutions remains limited due to concerns about scalability, computational overhead, and integration complexity. There is a need for a blockchain-based solution that enhances data security, ensures transparency, and prevents unauthorized access. This study aims to implement blockchain for secure data transactions at Federal University, Kashere.
