Blockchain-based student data collection and privacy system

By Ravindhar Vadapalli

Privacy of student data by linking the student data in a blockchain has become essential for the university administration to develop a complete “student life cycle“management. According to the data provided by the Blockchain Council and Risk Annals Research Corporation in a recent survey, it has been found that top universities worldwide rely on Blockchain version 3.0 as the best available technology when it comes to Student Data Privacy, Student Data Security and subsequent lifetime savings for future generations.

The top 5 US universities, ranked by subject and stored on blockchain-based Digi Lockers, include MIT for Engineering and Pure Science, Harvard for Management, Humanities & Social Sciences and Law. Yale and the Rhode Island School of Design lead in art and agriculture. Other notable universities on the list are Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn-Wharton, Princeton, UChicago and Columbia. Blockchain-based Digi Lockers provide secure and transparent storage of student data, improving the accessibility and reliability of education records.

However, Blockchain comes with many advantages and benefits such as immutability, P2P Peer-to-Peer layered multi-Administration, it carries with it a “self-fixed” organic risk profile more specifically when it comes to student data on Blockchain.

The risk profile of Blockchain Performance consists of two broad categories viz. Real-time student data retrieval risk (RTSDRR) and performance risk related to the data intrusion in the block. To reduce such risks, a sensible blockchain combination must be carefully followed.

Given the above background, when we talk about student data, we are looking at millions of student records on a larger scale. It is estimated that the world’s largest student data record is maintained with the tangential use of Oracle Blockchains by the Government of Israel with over 2 million student records being added regularly. The technological combination of Blockchain of Things (BCoT) Blockchain of things combining Blockchain (+) Cloud Computing (+ ) Internet of Things (IoT) is now enabled very easily at a lowest capital outlay of just Rs. 5/- per student post.

Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) for student data privacy along with real-time record retrieval is provided with the high-precision performance of BCoT. Today, students can rely 100% on “Blockchain Based Digi Lockers (BBDL)” where with their biometric historically linked and linked academic data from school records to university degrees can be retrieved from the interported block chain that is Blockchain 3.0.

Interpretability of student data: The biggest challenge that Blockchain 3.0 has overcome was “Student Data Interportability” as schools and universities are spread across different technology platforms and their consumers are mostly on completely opposite or completely different technology platform(s). This is one of the major revolutions in blockchain-based student data collection system.

Multi Point Biometric Auto Reading Repository (MPBARR):Blockchain-based MPBARR is gaining momentum as the student would later know, with his biometric that has used his data at different times and multiple events. The privacy breach would be alarmed to the student by MPBARR.

To conclude Blockchain 3.0 with powerful BCoT combination along with inter-portability ensures sufficient security and fast retrievalto the student record.
