Abstract :
Due to the fact that in recent years, the discussion of removing the national entrance exam has been raised, this year, the 12th grade average has been set for high-demand fields, which has a direct impact of 40%, and for other fields of study, admission is based on the student's academic record. Therefore, safe storage of academic records and prevention of changing and manipulating students' grades is very important. Blockchain technology is of interest due to its unique features such as decentralization and completeness of data, on the other hand, smart contracts provide privacy and access control. A platform for implementing smart contracts is the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network. In this article, a model for storing and retrieving students' academic records based on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain is presented. In this model, the academic records of students, including the grades of specialized and general courses of the twelfth year, are stored in the form of a transaction. The evaluation organization, as the responsible organization, can retrieve these records and provide the candidate with the result of the evaluation (being accepted or not accepted in the field of the candidate's chosen location). This model considers comprehensiveness, decentralization, privacy and access control.
