Background of the Study
Identity verification is a critical process for ensuring the security of personal and governmental data in various sectors, including banking, healthcare, and national security. The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Nigeria is responsible for the registration and management of the national identity database, which is used to verify individuals’ identities across multiple services. While existing identity verification systems are functional, they are often vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and other security breaches, which undermine the integrity of the system.
Quantum-based identity verification systems, which utilize quantum computing and quantum cryptography, offer an innovative approach to strengthening identity verification processes. By using quantum algorithms and secure quantum keys for authentication, these systems can provide higher levels of security and resistance to fraud than classical methods. This study aims to explore the design and implementation of a quantum-based identity verification system at NIMC, focusing on the potential benefits of integrating quantum technologies to secure identity management and reduce the risk of fraudulent activities.
Statement of the Problem
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) faces significant challenges in securing its identity verification processes against fraudulent activities, such as identity theft and the use of forged documents. Traditional identity verification systems, although effective in many ways, have limitations in terms of scalability and security, particularly in handling large volumes of data. Quantum-based identity verification systems, by utilizing quantum cryptography and advanced quantum algorithms, can offer stronger protection against such threats. However, the integration of quantum technologies into NIMC’s operations has not been extensively studied. This research seeks to investigate the feasibility of designing and implementing a quantum-based identity verification system at NIMC to enhance the security and reliability of Nigeria’s national identity database.
Objectives of the Study
-
To design a quantum-based identity verification system for the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
-
To evaluate the security benefits of using quantum cryptography in identity verification systems.
-
To assess the feasibility of implementing quantum-based identity verification at NIMC.
Research Questions
-
How can a quantum-based identity verification system improve the security of Nigeria’s national identity management process?
-
What are the advantages of using quantum cryptography in identity verification compared to classical methods?
-
What challenges would NIMC face in implementing a quantum-based identity verification system?
Significance of the Study
The study will provide insights into the potential for improving the security and efficiency of national identity verification systems through quantum technologies. Its findings will be crucial for policymakers and the National Identity Management Commission in making informed decisions about adopting quantum-based systems to strengthen the integrity of the national identity database and reduce identity-related fraud.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on designing and implementing a quantum-based identity verification system for the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in Abuja. Limitations include the technological challenges of integrating quantum computing with existing infrastructure and the associated costs of implementing quantum technologies.
