Background of the Study
The growing reliance on online government services in Nigeria has significantly increased the risks of cyber threats, particularly in relation to data breaches and unauthorized access. Ensuring the security of sensitive government data is paramount to maintaining public trust and protecting national interests. Traditional cryptographic models, while effective, are facing new challenges due to the potential capabilities of quantum computers to break classical encryption methods.
Quantum cryptography, especially Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), offers a potential solution to these challenges by providing theoretically unbreakable encryption. The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) is at the forefront of ensuring the security of Nigeria’s e-governance systems. This study aims to optimize quantum cryptographic models for securing online government services, focusing on the application of quantum technologies in protecting citizen data and government transactions.
Statement of the Problem
As cyber threats evolve, existing security measures used for securing online government services may soon become vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. There is a need for enhanced cryptographic models that can withstand quantum-based threats. This study explores the optimization of quantum cryptographic models to secure online government services and protect Nigeria’s digital infrastructure.
Objectives of the Study
-
To optimize quantum cryptographic models to enhance the security of online government services in Nigeria.
-
To evaluate the feasibility of implementing quantum cryptography in NITDA’s existing security infrastructure.
-
To assess the impact of quantum cryptography in mitigating potential quantum-based cyber threats to government systems.
Research Questions
-
How can quantum cryptographic models be optimized to secure online government services in Nigeria?
-
What quantum cryptographic methods can be integrated into NITDA’s current security framework?
-
What challenges might arise in adopting quantum cryptography for government service security?
Significance of the Study
This research will contribute to strengthening the security of online government services in Nigeria by optimizing quantum cryptographic models. The findings will assist NITDA and other governmental agencies in future-proofing their digital security infrastructure against emerging quantum computing threats.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on optimizing quantum cryptographic models for online government services provided by NITDA. Limitations may include access to quantum computing infrastructure and the integration challenges with existing systems.
