University blockchain experiment aims for top marks

Students are busy requesting official university approved stamps on documents like transcripts and degrees, and this is often a complicated process that can take weeks to get documents stamped.

A blockchain experiment at the University of Dubai is digitizing certificates, speeding up administration and reducing academic fraud. Blockchain provides each student with his own unique digital academic passport which will contain his/her stamped and attested documents in a digital format. It will then be placed on the Blockchain, which uses mapping and cryptography to create a secure, open and decentralized database.

Educhain  which launched this platform in Dubai, believes that it will reduce costs, processing time, eradicate academic fraud and offer students global mobility.
