Abstract

Blockchain technology is one of the safest technologies, which is finding application in almost every sphere of life, due to the characteristics that it possesses. The beginning of blockchain technology was difficult, as all people thought that we were dealing with fraudulent technology that only aims to deceive people and get money, but such a thing will change over time, and today blockchain technology and in particular cryptocurrencies are an integral part of most people’s lives. Everything is transparent, and safe and people are benefiting from this technology, depending on the investments and the cryptocurrency market. Unlike all spheres, in the sphere of education, blockchain technology is encountering many challenges, especially in higher education institutions. There is a lack of interest from researchers, as they do not see this field as profitable, but on the other hand, there is also a lack of developers who deal with blockchain programming. In this paper, we will try to make an overview of the application of blockchain systems in higher education institutions, the importance of the application in particular for the generation and verification of diplomas as a matter of great importance, the challenges that the educational institutions are facing, and above all we will explain the security and transparency that blockchain technology offers. We will also present a simplified framework of how we think of the process of generating and verifying diplomas, as an important part of academic qualifications in a higher education institution. The creation of standardized templates for the generation of diplomas is one of the possibilities for overcoming various misuses. Prevention of the misuse of diplomas is important for the whole society, as it is a phenomenon which, despite the measures taken, is still present today.
