Prototype of Blockchain-Based Diploma Transcript Authentication Method

Aprianti Nanda Sari, Trisna Gelar

Abstract


Each year, more than one million students receive their degrees from institutions of higher education. Some of them may make use of their diplomas and academic transcripts to apply for jobs or to pursue a career. To reduce the likelihood of diplomas being forged, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia has implemented the Electronic Diploma Verification System (SIVIL). On the other hand, SIVIL storage is still carried out in a centralized way, which means that there is a risk that irresponsible parties could cause damage to the integration of diploma data that has been stored. The purpose of this research is to integrate blockchain theory and architecture to preserve the authenticity of diplomas, thereby resolving this issue. The identification of the problem, the review of the relevant literature, the analysis, the design, the production of the prototype, and the testing were done to accomplish this objective. According to the findings of the tests, the prototype that was developed can satisfy functional requirements and preserve the integrity of the data that is contained on diplomas and academic transcripts.
