Background of the Study
With the increasing reliance on digital platforms for financial transactions, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more pressing. Traditional cryptographic techniques, while effective, are beginning to show vulnerabilities in the face of advanced threats and computational power. Quantum cryptography, which utilizes quantum principles such as entanglement and the uncertainty principle, promises to offer unbreakable encryption, making it an ideal solution for securing online banking transactions (Zhang et al., 2024). One of the most well-known quantum cryptography protocols is Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), which enables secure communication by detecting eavesdropping attempts in real-time. Given the rapid advancements in quantum computing, it is critical to explore how quantum cryptography can be applied to secure sensitive financial transactions, especially in online banking.
University of Jos, Plateau State, serves as a pertinent case study to explore the application of quantum cryptography in the realm of secure online banking. As universities continue to transition to digital systems for handling student fees, financial transactions, and other monetary activities, the security of these transactions becomes a key concern. This study will investigate the feasibility and implementation of quantum cryptography for enhancing the security of online banking platforms at the University of Jos.
Statement of the Problem
As online banking grows in popularity, particularly in academic institutions, securing sensitive financial transactions becomes a critical challenge. Traditional encryption techniques, such as RSA and AES, may be vulnerable to the computational power of quantum computers in the future, making them less reliable for long-term security (Shor, 2023). Although quantum cryptography has shown promise in securing communications, its implementation in online banking systems, particularly within universities, remains largely unexplored. This study seeks to investigate the potential of quantum cryptography to secure online banking transactions at the University of Jos, Plateau State, and identify the challenges associated with its adoption.
