Background of the Study
Cloud computing has become an essential tool in healthcare, providing platforms for storing, managing, and analyzing large volumes of medical data. Cloud-based healthcare systems enable healthcare professionals to access patient records, collaborate remotely, and use advanced data analytics to improve patient care. However, with the growing amount of sensitive healthcare data being stored and transmitted in the cloud, there are concerns regarding data security and privacy. Traditional encryption methods used to protect healthcare data are increasingly at risk of being compromised by quantum computing's computational power.
Quantum computing presents an opportunity to enhance cloud-based healthcare systems by enabling more secure encryption techniques and data protection methods. Quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum cryptography, and other quantum security technologies can help safeguard sensitive patient data from potential threats posed by quantum computing. This study will explore the potential impact of quantum computing on cloud-based healthcare systems at National Hospital, Abuja, focusing on the security, scalability, and efficiency of these systems in light of quantum advancements.
Statement of the Problem
As the healthcare industry increasingly relies on cloud-based systems for data storage and management, ensuring the security of sensitive patient information becomes critical. Traditional encryption methods used in cloud-based healthcare systems are vulnerable to quantum computing, which could potentially break current cryptographic techniques. National Hospital, Abuja, must prepare for these future challenges by adopting quantum-safe encryption methods to protect patient data and ensure the continued integrity of cloud-based healthcare systems.
However, integrating quantum computing into existing cloud-based healthcare systems presents significant challenges, including the technical expertise required to implement quantum encryption, the cost of upgrading infrastructure, and the regulatory considerations for healthcare data. This study aims to investigate the potential impact of quantum computing on these systems, focusing on the feasibility and benefits of implementing quantum-safe security in healthcare cloud environments.
