The exchange of student credentials is an essential and fundamental process of an educational environment that involves multiple stakeholders such as students, schools, instructors, companies, etc. As of today, the procedure is complicated, time-consuming, error-prone and not foolproof. To fix security concerns related to the sharing of student credentials, we incorporate blockchain technology.
Our work suggests a futuristic and pragmatic blockchain architecture for the safe sharing of student credentials and introduces a prototype as a decentralized application (DApp ) based on blockchain .
Experiments on Ethereum have been carried out to test the accuracy of the DApp and evaluate the costs to understand the execution time. The results implies that the existing education system can be enhanced by such a simple, ubiquitous yet secure and user-friendly Blockchain-based DApp and all the stakeholders would reap tremendous benefits.
