BlockEP: A Blockchain Architecture to Record Academic Grades in the Peruvian Army

Resumen

Currently, blockchain technology is utilized in various sectors, one of which is higher education. Some of the benefits of this technology include streamlining the deployment of educational platforms where students and teachers can manage their data, financial transactions, and decide securely what content to share and with whom. Similarly, it enables the issuance of official certificates, ensuring the accuracy of evaluations and degrees attained by students throughout their academic journey. Furthermore, through the utilization of a decentralized system, academic credentials can be securely and transparently stored, posing a challenge for potential forgers attempting to alter academic grades. In this context, this paper proposes the design of a blockchain architecture for the academic grades record in the Peruvian Army, named BlockEP. The objective is to enhance security, transparency, and efficiency in the academic and administrative processes of both undergraduate and graduate military schools. The BlockEP architecture empowers authorized users to manage student grades, ensuring comprehensive control of the network, and features a graphical interface to facilitate understanding and interaction. This initiative provides an advanced solution and a valuable learning opportunity in blockchain technology for military institutions.
