Blockchain-Enabled Conceptual Framework for Enhancing Academic Transcript Issuance and Authentication in the Nigerian Educational System
Abstract
The issuing and authentication of academic transcripts are essential in the ever-changing landscape of educational systems since they serve as a means of validating an individual's academic achievements. However, difficulties in confirming these transcripts' authenticity exacerbated by manual procedures and paper-based system have raised questions about their legitimacy, especially in Nigeria. To address these urgent issues, this research presents a conceptual revolutionary blockchain-based framework for the Nigerian education system. The suggested solution will reduce dependency on issuing institutions and improve system efficiency by providing digital transcripts and automated authentication processes by utilizing blockchain's decentralized nature, transparency, and security features. The system will use blockchain-stored hash values for authentication and integrates on-chain revocation features to protect data integrity, reduce fraud risks, and enable quick and dependable authentication. By filling a vacuum in the literature, concentrating on issues unique to transcripts, and offering a contextually appropriate solution that has the potential to completely transform the Nigerian academic transcript issuance and authentication process, this work advances our collective understanding.
