Background of the study
With the growing reliance on digital platforms to manage student information, the need for robust data security measures in secondary schools has become critical. Data encryption is one of the most effective methods for ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of student information systems. In Gombe Local Government Area, Gombe State, secondary schools store sensitive data such as student grades, attendance records, and personal information. If not properly protected, this data can be vulnerable to unauthorized access, identity theft, and cyber-attacks.
Data encryption works by converting data into a coded form, which can only be deciphered by authorized personnel with the appropriate decryption key. This makes it an essential tool for protecting student data and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations. However, while the benefits of data encryption are clear, secondary schools in Gombe may face challenges in its implementation, such as lack of technical expertise, high costs, and resistance to new security protocols. This study will investigate the use of data encryption in student information systems in Gombe secondary schools and evaluate its effectiveness in safeguarding student data.
Statement of the problem
The use of student information systems in secondary schools in Gombe Local Government Area has raised concerns about data security and privacy. Despite the importance of protecting sensitive student data, many schools may lack the resources or technical knowledge to implement effective data encryption strategies. This study will explore how data encryption is being applied in Gombe’s secondary schools and identify the challenges schools face in securing student information.
