Background of the Study
Digital identity verification is crucial for ensuring secure access to public and private services. The National Identity Management Commission in Abuja faces challenges with traditional verification systems that are vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks. Quantum cryptography, employing techniques like QKD and quantum-resistant algorithms, offers enhanced security for digital identity systems (Ibrahim, 2024; Adekunle, 2023). By leveraging quantum properties, a digital identity verification system can ensure that identity data is securely transmitted and authenticated in real time, preventing impersonation and data breaches. This study investigates the design of a quantum cryptography-based system to provide robust, tamper-proof identity verification for Nigerian citizens.
Statement of the Problem
Current digital identity systems are increasingly at risk from sophisticated cyber threats that exploit vulnerabilities in classical cryptographic protocols (Emeka, 2023). The National Identity Management Commission’s existing systems may be unable to safeguard against quantum-enabled attacks, jeopardizing citizens’ personal data and national security. Integration of quantum cryptography is hindered by high costs and technical complexity. This study seeks to explore the feasibility and challenges of implementing a quantum-based identity verification system that can overcome these vulnerabilities and ensure secure digital identities.
Objectives of the Study
-
Design a quantum cryptography-based identity verification system.
-
Evaluate its effectiveness against cyber threats.
-
Develop an integration framework for nationwide deployment.
Research Questions
-
How can quantum cryptography secure digital identity verification?
-
What vulnerabilities exist in current systems?
-
What strategies enable effective nationwide integration?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides a blueprint for a quantum-based digital identity system that can protect Nigerian citizens against fraud and cyberattacks. Enhanced security will build public trust in digital services and streamline access to governmental and financial resources, positioning the nation as a leader in secure digital identity management (Chinwe, 2024).
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study is limited to the National Identity Management Commission in Abuja, focusing on digital identity verification, defined objectives, and selected LGAs in the sampled state only.
