Securing Educational Document Using Blockchain & IPFS
Rutuja D. Sanjekar, Dr. Balaji M. Patil
Abstract
The block chain is able to store shared and completely transparent information on an immutable ledger. As most crucial thing in an any industry is information. Success in industry is proportional to the speed at which it receives accurate information. So, the work of delivering fast and accurate information is done by Block chain technology. This ispossible because block chain is able to store shared and completely transparent information on an immutable ledger. Many cases of fake documents/certificates are encountered in educational system. As these cases are very high in number therefore it is totally unnoticed. So therefore, as a solution, blockchain based system can be used to store all the educational documents and certificates. Blockchain system is immutable and completely decentralized so no one can manipulate the data. Physical verification of user's document is very time consuming and tedious task. As this type of document verification system are centralized therefore, they are open to various intrusion attacks and also, they are not completely trustworthy for giving validation to particular user based on their educational history. In this paper, system illustrates blockchain base system in which students document can be stored and get verified on decentralized platform. At this moment also there are many organizations which conduct the process of document verification in traditional way like physical verification, etc. which is cannot be considered as best way of verification, thus blockchain based systemcan be opted as best solution to this. Many of the blockchain based systems are using IPFS for storage of data. But while using IPFS and blockchain together for storing data it is very important to ensure security. Hence, to protect the data over blockchain IPFS based system this research has proposed a novel approach by implementing visual cryptography and NTRU algorithm so that this will add extra layer of security to the data which is stored on this system
