Background of the Study
The rise of mobile banking in Nigeria has revolutionized the way financial transactions are conducted, offering convenience and accessibility to customers. However, this rapid adoption of mobile banking has also led to an increase in cyber threats, such as fraud, identity theft, and unauthorized access to financial accounts. As mobile banking platforms become more widespread, ensuring the security of mobile transactions has become a critical priority for banks.
While traditional encryption methods, such as SSL and TLS, are widely used to secure mobile banking transactions, these systems are vulnerable to quantum computing’s computational power. Quantum computers, when fully developed, could potentially break many of the cryptographic techniques currently used in securing mobile transactions. In response to this potential threat, quantum cryptography has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the security of mobile banking systems.
This study focuses on implementing quantum cryptography to strengthen the security of mobile banking transactions at GTBank, Maiduguri, Borno State. By utilizing quantum key distribution (QKD) and other quantum encryption techniques, the study aims to design a more secure mobile banking system that can withstand quantum-enabled attacks and ensure the protection of sensitive financial data.
Statement of the Problem
Mobile banking in Nigeria has grown rapidly, but with this growth comes an increased risk of cyberattacks and data breaches. Current cryptographic methods used in mobile banking platforms, though effective, may become vulnerable to attacks from future quantum computers. GTBank, like other financial institutions, faces the challenge of securing mobile banking systems against both classical and quantum computing threats. Traditional encryption mechanisms need to be enhanced to safeguard customer information and maintain trust in the mobile banking ecosystem.
Quantum cryptography, with its inherent ability to create secure communication channels, offers a solution to this problem. However, the practical implementation of quantum cryptography in mobile banking systems is still in its early stages, and challenges related to scalability, integration, and infrastructure must be addressed.
Objectives of the Study
-
To explore the potential of quantum cryptography in enhancing the security of mobile banking transactions at GTBank, Maiduguri.
-
To design and implement a quantum-based encryption solution to protect mobile banking systems from quantum-enabled attacks.
-
To evaluate the feasibility of integrating quantum cryptography into GTBank’s existing mobile banking infrastructure and identify any challenges.
Research Questions
-
How can quantum cryptography be applied to enhance the security of mobile banking transactions at GTBank, Maiduguri?
-
What are the potential benefits of implementing quantum cryptography in securing mobile banking systems against quantum-enabled attacks?
-
What challenges exist in integrating quantum cryptography into GTBank’s mobile banking infrastructure, and how can these challenges be addressed?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant because it explores the application of quantum cryptography in securing mobile banking systems, a critical aspect of modern financial transactions. By strengthening the security of mobile banking, GTBank will be better positioned to protect customer data from evolving cyber threats, particularly those posed by quantum computers. The study also contributes to the field of quantum cryptography by examining its practical applications in the Nigerian banking sector.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the implementation of quantum cryptography to enhance mobile banking security specifically at GTBank in Maiduguri, Borno State. It will not extend to other financial institutions or mobile banking platforms. Limitations include the lack of access to fully developed quantum computing resources at GTBank and challenges related to integrating quantum encryption with existing mobile banking systems.
