Background of the Study
As the world shifts towards digital governance, e-government portals have become essential tools for citizens to access government services. However, with the increasing amount of personal and sensitive data being processed, the need for secure and reliable authentication systems has become a priority. Traditional authentication methods, such as passwords and biometrics, have proven to be vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. Quantum-based authentication systems, which utilize the principles of quantum mechanics, offer a potential solution by enabling unbreakable encryption and enhanced security for digital platforms.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Nigeria is responsible for administering and collecting taxes and managing other government financial functions. The FIRS's e-government portals handle sensitive taxpayer information, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. To ensure the integrity and confidentiality of these systems, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of quantum-based authentication mechanisms that can provide a higher level of security. This study aims to design and implement a quantum-based authentication system for FIRS’s e-government portals, ensuring that sensitive data is protected against potential threats.
Statement of the Problem
Despite advancements in digital authentication systems, many current methods remain susceptible to hacking and data breaches, particularly as quantum computing advances. The Federal Inland Revenue Service's e-government portals, which manage confidential taxpayer data, are at risk of being compromised by cyber threats. There is a critical need for stronger, quantum-enhanced security systems to safeguard the data and transactions processed by these portals. This study will explore the feasibility of implementing quantum-based authentication systems for FIRS, focusing on strengthening the security framework and protecting citizen data.
Objectives of the Study
-
To design a quantum-based authentication system for securing e-government portals at the Federal Inland Revenue Service.
-
To assess the feasibility of integrating quantum authentication mechanisms into FIRS’s existing digital infrastructure.
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of quantum-based authentication in preventing unauthorized access and enhancing data privacy.
Research Questions
-
How can a quantum-based authentication system enhance the security of e-government portals at the Federal Inland Revenue Service?
-
What challenges might arise in integrating quantum authentication into FIRS’s existing digital systems?
-
How effective is quantum authentication in securing sensitive taxpayer data from cyber threats?
Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the development of more secure and reliable authentication systems for e-government portals, specifically at the Federal Inland Revenue Service. By implementing quantum-based authentication, the study will help protect sensitive data and improve the trust and confidence of citizens in digital government services. Additionally, the research findings may inform the broader use of quantum-based security systems in government institutions and organizations handling sensitive data.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the design and implementation of quantum-based authentication for e-government portals at the Federal Inland Revenue Service. It will assess the feasibility of incorporating quantum technologies into the agency’s existing digital systems. Limitations include the technical complexities involved in quantum system implementation and the lack of quantum computing infrastructure in Nigeria.
