Abstract

Higher education institutions are considered one of the most important pillars and the greatest starting points from which the wheels of development and civilized advancement are launched, as well as their important role in instilling the values of society and preserving its moral and value system. In performing the role entrusted to it in achieving sustainable development and the comprehensive renaissance of society in various field and sectors. Thus; the accreditation systems are frequently used to verify which institutions are recognized and authorized to giveeducational or professional skills. However, these systems are not always efficient in countries where recognized higher education establishments cannot rally the demand for certified professionals required by the employment market. This generates a fertile argument for the “certificate factories” to sell false diplomas to unskilled people who are trying to catchbenefit of this deficit. In this regard, the digitization of diploma granting’s and verification’s processes, is becomingincreasingly important in order to guarantee the identity of diplomas, and that companies recruit the right qualified people. For that reason, an efficient management system for the control of diploma creation processes is immediatelymandatory. The Blockchain methodology provides efficient ways to examine the data information management systems. It is designed to make confidence techniques that can revolutionize information management methods. The major purpose of this paper is to develop a “BlockDipls” system based on Blockchain technology. This BlockDipls system is planned to support diploma traceability and smart contract functions, and can be used to address the problems of diploma falsification and diploma record fraud.
