The upcoming Blockchain adoption in Higher-education: requirements and process

The Blockchain is a process which divide the data into blocks which are secured through unique cryptography algorithms to ensure privacy and security. The blocks are connected to each other in mesh topology which create a chain. Blockchain is start to be utilized through different domain such as banking, government, defense and educations. Today the higher education’s institutions are grants to run campuses in different cities and different countries. Hence, securing the data transactions such as student profiles and certifications is considering significant concerns for security professions. Hence, this research is about highlighting the studies which cover the possibility of adopting Blockchain in education institutions. The concluded recommendation will be generated based on investigations running in the higher education field.
