In pursuit of appropriate private blockchain platform for higher education institutions

Maintaining and establishing transparency, security and privacy, when the data that should be included as part of documents that should serve as public educational documents in the labor market, are a challenging task, especially nowadays when we have more frequent cyber-attacks on public institutions. Setting up the security mechanisms of information systems that should store, process and show this type of data can be a very demanding job. For this reason, the introduction of new technologies in this area, such as blockchain technology, leads to considerable system and implementation relief. In this paper, private blockchain platforms are analyzed from the point of view of processing digital certificates or diplomas in the higher education system. An overview of the most popular platforms of this type is given. The most appropriate solution for these needs are discussed and proposed.
