Özet

Problem Defination

After the integration of Blockchain and Smart contracts technologies, they have proven themselves in many areas. One of the most important of these is education. Every student obtains many documents throughout their education life. They lose these documents from time to time and cannot use them. Therefore, these documents cannot be verified if an institution requests it. At the same time, even if it is verified, its authenticity is questioned. It is imperative that these documents are kept securely. This problem can be easily solved with the help of smart contracts. Although smart contracts are still not used enough in higher education, they seem to be a solution to many problems. By using the security feature of blockchain technology, a system coded with a smart contract can store students' documents such as diplomas and transcripts safely and preserve their integrity, and they can be easily verified. However, there are still limitations and shortcomings that exist in traditional smart contracts. At this point, it is necessary to benefit from collaborative smart contracts. In this study, a collaborative smart contracts model developed for the safe storage, storage and verification of students' diplomas and transcripts, which is one of the biggest problems in today's education field, is presented. It is important that the use of this system is also supported by universities. In this way, document verification processes between institutions and universities will be accelerated, and documents stored safely will enable further use of the sector and accelerate technological developments in education.
