The application of technology in various aspects of life has made it easy for many people. However, there are also shortcomings in the use of technology, one of which is security issues, both transactions and data. Given these issues in this paper, we propose blockchain technology for an authentication system that will protect data rights and interests and be safe from interference to store information in the form of confidential text, especially in the application of technology in education. From this writing, there are 2 benefits, the first is that all data stored in the education system is guaranteed and there will be increased trust from both parents, teachers and other parties due to the decentralized nature of blockchain.

Purpose This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review on blockchain technology in education to offer a detailed understanding of the present scenario in terms of benefits, barriers, present blockchain technology application and future areas where blockchain technology can be implemented in the other fields of education. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis is conducted on for data in the publications, journals, authors and citations were collected, and examined by applying bibliometric measures. The data was collected from SCOPUS database on the topic “Blockchain Technology in Education”. The following research questions guided this systematic literature review (SLR: How blockchain technology has been defined in educational settings? How were the technology examined (i.e. the methodology)? What were the results of using this technology in an education system? Findings The study identifies the benefits, barriers and present application of blockchain technology in education. The analysis shows that blockchain technology in education is still a young discipline, but has a lot of potential to benefits the educational sector at large. Practical implications This research provides a groundwork for education institutions, the policymakers and researchers to explore other areas where blockchain technology can be implemented, though this research has also suggested some prospective uses of blockchain technology in different functions of an education system, more application can be brought into the education system to exploit the potential of blockchain technology. Originality/value The paper discusses the application of blockchain technology in education with the help of bibliometric analysis. This is one of the first known studies to review the blockchain technology by identifying its benefits, barriers, present blockchain technology application. Based on the analysis, future application areas are also identified.

The article is devoted to the blockchain technology that that has been booming in recent years. The purpose of the article is to review the literature on the modern possibilities of using blockchain technology in the education system. A brief description of blockchain technology is given, modern directions for its development are put forward. The article analyzes the possibilities and prospects of using blockchain to solve some problems in the education system, describes the features and advantages of using blockchain technology in the field of education that are known today. The positive changes in the educational process, which may result from the use of this technology are defined. The article discusses the shortcomings and problems associated with the use of blockchain technology in education. Methods and materials: a systematic search of literature on Google Scholar databases was performed, works on the use of BT in education were reviewed, and materials on blockchain technology in education that are available on Research Gate were analyzed. The authors outline that most projects using the blockchain in education are under development. Currently, there is already data on the implementation of blockchain technology in the form of confirmation of the authenticity of documents on education, a student’s personal card, confirmation of accreditation of an educational organization and intellectual property, student identification. Results. 67 papers were identified in the Google Scholar database and 80 publications in the eLibrary database. A large number of online conversations on the topic under study were revealed, and 25 publications turned out to be full-text journal articles. The authors noted that every day there are new articles, reports about the organization of startups, the formation of research teams working to study the possibilities of using BT in the education system. Conclusions. The authors summarize the possibilities of using blockchain technologies in the field of education. The interdisciplinary approach and cooperation of educators with blockchain specialists will keep up with the booming digital technologies.

The Blockchain for Education platform helps us to make the tamper-proof certificates and their correct and the overall permanent allocation of these certificates to learners, as well as verification of certificates. It can reduce the overall frauds and tampering of the degrees and certificates. Blockchain technology can be used to solve many educational problems and can help educators as well as learners to monitor the learning outcomes. The data can be stored securely and tamper proof format when it’s stored onto the blockchain network. Here smart contracts can be designed and deployed on to the Ethereum blockchain that can be designed using the solidity programming language. Blockchain can be applied to private, public and consortium sectors depending upon the usage and the scope of the blockchain. Education system can take benefit of this scalability of the blockchain and can be effectively useful in the educational institutions.

The future of India will be formed in the lecture hall. Whereas India has made great steps in refining the education system but much still remains to be complete. If you see the current situation then you will find that there is a torrent of advanced technology all over the world but our education system is not helping due to the absence of information and information of teachers, students, and the organization. The students have their own limitations, teachers have their owned and the organization is also confessing the fact that the education system is really in a poor form today. The aim of this paper is to skeleton how information technology can help to make an education system that is based on the ideologies of helping teachers, students, and management to be effective in what they do, improving the superiority and significance of teaching-learning process.
