A Blockchain-based Educational Record Repository
Abstract
The Blockchain technology was initially adopted to implement various cryptocurrencies. Currently, Blockchain is foreseen as a general purpose technology with a huge potential in many areas. Blockchain-based applications have inherent characteristics like authenticity, immutability and consensus. Beyond that, records stored on Blockchain ledger can be accessed any time and from any location. Blockchain has a great potential for managing and maintaining educational records. This paper presents a Blockchain-based Educational Record Repository (BcER2) that manages and distributes educational assets for academic and industry professionals. The BcER2 system allows educational records like e-diplomas and e-certificates to be securely and seamless transferred, shared and distributed by parties.
