Profile - Decentralized Application for Education

Decentralized applications have evolved in the recent past. Many sectors have shown focus towards the Decentralized applications. This paper extends the application to the education sector. The work is associated with the creation of a Decentralized Application on the Ethereum Blockchain, which includes the decentralized way of storing data such as the student details. Face detection feature has been incorporated to tackle the problem of proxy attendance and other malpractices. The Decentralized Application interacts with the smart contract written on the Ethereum network. The smart contract created involves in storing the details of the student’s education timeline, such as his/ her marks, institution information, etc. Cloud technology has been used to store large files which cannot be stored in the smart contracts. Many natural calamities and other causes have led to the destruction of the stored details in the traditional databases, these problems have been overcome with this use of Cloud technology, where it provides features like replicability to avoid loses, reliability to avoid failures, scalability to avoid shortage of resources, etc. Authentication has been addressed with the help of face recognition tool which detects the identity of a person. This attempt of solving the above problems have been stated in this paper. Addition of a security layer with face recognition, storage of media files in the AWS S3 cloud, and interaction with the Decentralized Application, makes this paper unique from the other papers.
