INTRODUCTION
Looking a couple of years back, one tends to wonder how the world and Nigeria in particular, ever got by without the convenience information technology affords the average man. Gone were the times when hi-tech methods of carrying out basic endeavor were seen as the preserve of the rich class. From the Automated Teller Machine to the GSM mobile phone and the internet, the current day metropolitan dweller find a far more easier and convenient lifestyle in business, leisure, relationships and networking.
Though, as would any new phenomenon, this development has come with its own associated setbacks and negative implications. Information and communication technology has developed over time and some of the very basic problems (for example, data loss, medium congestion, portability, memory capacity, adaptability etc.) have been equalized by better processes and technologies in the search for the delivery of seamless performance.
One problem, however, continues to rear its ugly head in unbelievable dimensions, almost at a better rate compared to technological advancement so much so that advancing technology seem to be moving at a pace behind it. Security and privacy remains an issue with the world’s new found lifestyle. While the issue of privacy has been mitigated by certain legislations and best practices, security threats have become more ravenous. This has made it necessary for developments in the art of securing information and communication technology to move one step further to pre-empt a major setback in what has become a lifestyle to a majority of the twenty-first century generation.
