Background of the Study
The Nigerian judiciary relies on secure data systems to manage sensitive legal documents and case files. The High Court of Justice in Abuja faces increasing cybersecurity challenges due to outdated encryption protocols vulnerable to modern cyber threats. Quantum computing provides advanced security methods, including quantum-resistant encryption and key distribution, that can significantly bolster data protection (Ibrahim, 2024; Adekunle, 2023). Integrating these technologies can help safeguard judicial data from breaches and cyber espionage, ensuring the integrity of legal processes. This study investigates the potential of quantum computing to enhance data security within the judiciary, focusing on improving confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical legal information.
Statement of the Problem
Current data security measures in the judiciary are based on classical encryption methods that are increasingly vulnerable to quantum-enabled cyberattacks (Emeka, 2023). The High Court of Justice faces risks of unauthorized access and data breaches, which could compromise legal proceedings and erode public trust. Existing systems lack the advanced features required to counter modern threats, and the integration of quantum security measures remains largely unexplored. This study seeks to evaluate whether quantum computing can offer a viable solution to these security challenges, addressing technical and operational barriers to its implementation.
Objectives of the Study
-
Evaluate quantum computing’s role in enhancing judicial data security.
-
Identify vulnerabilities in current security measures.
-
Develop recommendations for quantum integration in judicial systems.
Research Questions
-
How can quantum computing improve data security in the judiciary?
-
What vulnerabilities exist in current encryption methods?
-
What framework supports effective quantum security integration?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it explores the application of quantum computing to secure judicial data, thereby strengthening the integrity and reliability of legal processes. Enhanced security will protect sensitive legal information and foster public trust in the justice system, setting new benchmarks for data protection in public institutions (Chinwe, 2024).
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study is limited to the High Court of Justice in Abuja, focusing on data security, defined objectives, and selected LGAs in the sampled state only.
