Abstract:
Blockchain technology enables the creation of a decenfualized environmento where
ffaruactions and data are not under the control of any third party organization. Any
Ensaction ever completed is recorded in a public ledger in a verifiable and permanent
way. Based on the blockchain technology, we propose a global higher education
credentialing platform, named DZACHAIN. This platform is based on the Algerian
higher education system where the ministry is in control of all the higher education
ifi?itutions (IIEIs). It constitutes a globally trusted, decentralized higher education
credentialing that can offer credential holders a way to hold and shaxe their acadmic
cgfCntials directly with others in a safe and trusted way, as well as offering a globally
unifled viewpoint for credential issuers(FlEls) and employers. We present a prototype
itgleTentation of the environment, based on the open-source Hyperledger hoha
Blockchain Platform. Based on a distributed peer-to-peer network, DZACHAIN will
manEandcontrol credential tokens and WX records, which represent accordingly the
diplomas and the work experience that credential holders gain after graduating.
Credential holders and employers are the peers of the blockchain network, as well as
government peers. The platforrr is a first step toward a more tansparent and
technologically advanced form of higher education management systems
