On Thursday, the Labour Party and Peter Obi, its presidential candidate, presented additional witnesses in support of their appeal at the Presidential Election appeal Court.
the Independent National Electoral Commission’s declaration of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the most recent presidential election, which the petitioners reject.
On behalf of the All Progressives Congress, Tinubu ran for office.
Ugwuoke suggested that the Amazon Web Service could not have shut down because it was the service provider’s responsibility to be operational throughout the matter’s resumed hearing. Ugwuoke was led in testimony by the petitioners’ attorney, Patrick Ikweato, SAN.
The INEC Results Viewing portal’s web host, the AWS, served as the location for uploading the election results.
The witness asserted during cross-examination by Abubakar Mahmoud, counsel for the election commission, that the AWS model includes a shared responsibility model between the service provider and the clients.
He stated that the obligation to ensure the security of its clients rests with the business.
The three areas of shared duty between the business and INEC are secrecy, integrity, and availability, according to Ugwuoke.
The witness stated that AWS is still in charge of “availability.”
It means that it will always be accessible, in his words. It won’t turn off. AWS is accountable for this. The cloud trail will describe how accessible AWS infrastructure is.
The witness confirmed that there is a Service Level Agreement between the service provider (AWS) and clients (INEC) during cross-examination by counsel for the APC, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN.
He said that the agreement included information on security measures.
While election results should be posted on the INEC Results Viewing page, the cyber security expert further explained to the court that some uploads are “incorrect uploads such as an image of a book rather than a result.”
He argued that there is very little probability that mistakes will be found after a programme has been deployed.
The likelihood of finding such problems, he added, is higher during the application testing phase.
