Sharing of students’ credentials is an indispensable integral process of an educational ecosystem that comprises various stakeholders like students, school, professors, companies, etc. As of today, the process is complex, tedious, error-prone and not fool-proof. To resolve security issues revolving around the sharing of students’ credentials, we leverage blockchain technology. Our work proposes a novel and pragmatic blockchain-based architecture to securely share students’ credentials and presents a prototype as a blockchain based decentralized application (DApp). In order to validate the correctness of the DApp and to analyze the costs as well as to understand the execution time, experiments are conducted on Ethereum. The results implies that such kind of simple and ubiquitous yet secure and user-friendly blockchain based DApp for sharing students’ credential can strengthen the current educational system and all the stakeholders can get immensely benefited by it.
