Survey of Cryptography models for Security of Computer-based Integrated School Information Management System

This survey examines cryptography models for securing computer-based integrated school information management systems. The study reviews symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography, hash functions, and digital signatures. Cryptography techniques, including encryption, decryption, key exchange, and digital certificates, are also discussed. The application of these models and techniques to school information management systems is explored, highlighting benefits such as confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity. Thus, the work adopted systematic literature review (SLR) methodology: extensively on books, e-books, internet, compendium, journals and research papers published in symposia, seminars and conferences organized in and beyond Nigeria were exploded. Nevertheless, challenges abound in critical areas, including key management, performance, user education, and regulatory compliance, are also identified. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of cryptography models and their potential to enhance the security of school information management systems. Keywords: Cryptography, School Information Management System, Security, Confidentiality, Integrity, Authenticity.
