Abstract
AbstractThe use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in various spheres of life has led to the need for service consumers to have an electronic presence in the cyber-space. The world has become a global village; one can buy goods and services thousands of miles away from the country thanks to technology. One can even access medical services remotely using telemedicine. ICT is also being used at Airports, Universities, and many other areas that require interaction. To be able to interact and use some of these online platforms, a user is normally required to provide some form of Identity for their electronic Id to be created and thereafter be allowed to participate. The Information harvested is stored on various databases across the globe owned by different Service providers. This has often led to personal data being inadvertently leaked thereby putting the owners at risk. Several software solutions have been proposed and implemented to address this challenge but the problem still exists. This paper proposes multilayered hardware solution to protect user data while allowing the user to enjoy the convenience and benefits of accessing electronic services. The prototype was developed using Arduino microcontrollers, Arduino IDE (programming platform) and the Proteus Simulation software. Results obtained from the experiments demonstrated that the protection of user data can be enhanced via the use of multilayered hardware Security.
