Background of the Study
Cloud storage systems are fundamental to modern business operations, offering scalable and efficient data management solutions. However, as cyber threats evolve, ensuring the security of cloud-stored data becomes increasingly critical. Nigerian businesses, particularly those leveraging cloud services provided by major technology firms such as Google Nigeria in Abuja, are vulnerable to data breaches and unauthorized access. Quantum secure cloud storage systems represent a novel approach to mitigating these risks by integrating quantum cryptographic techniques, such as quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum-resistant encryption algorithms (Okoro, 2023). These methods provide an additional layer of security that is robust against the computational powers of emerging quantum computers. This study explores the design of a quantum secure cloud storage system tailored to the needs of Nigerian businesses. By harnessing the power of quantum computing, the proposed system aims to ensure that data stored in the cloud remains confidential, integral, and available only to authorized users (Ibrahim, 2024). The research will delve into the architecture of secure cloud systems, examining the interplay between classical cloud infrastructure and quantum cryptographic enhancements. It will also address the scalability challenges associated with integrating quantum security measures into existing cloud platforms. As digital transformation continues to drive business innovation in Nigeria, the adoption of quantum-secure cloud storage is expected to foster greater trust in cloud services, thereby encouraging broader adoption among enterprises (Adeniyi, 2024). This investigation will provide critical insights into the practical feasibility, performance benefits, and potential challenges of deploying a quantum secure cloud storage system, ultimately contributing to the development of more resilient data protection strategies in the Nigerian business environment.
Statement of the Problem
Nigerian businesses increasingly rely on cloud storage solutions for data management, yet current security measures are vulnerable to sophisticated cyber-attacks. Traditional encryption methods used in cloud systems may become obsolete with the advent of quantum computing, exposing sensitive business data to breaches and cyber espionage (Emeka, 2023). Google Nigeria’s cloud services in Abuja, while robust, are not entirely immune to these emerging threats. The gap between existing classical encryption protocols and the advanced capabilities of quantum computing poses a significant risk to data integrity and confidentiality. Moreover, integrating quantum cryptographic techniques into cloud storage systems presents challenges such as high implementation costs, technical complexities, and potential compatibility issues with existing infrastructures. These limitations hinder the widespread adoption of quantum-secure solutions among Nigerian businesses, leaving them exposed to potential data losses and financial repercussions. This study seeks to address these challenges by designing a secure cloud storage system that leverages quantum cryptography. By evaluating the technical feasibility, performance metrics, and integration challenges, the research aims to provide a robust solution that not only enhances data security but also ensures seamless scalability and usability for Nigerian enterprises (Nwankwo, 2025).
