Abstract:
A method for examination scoring via blockchain includes: receiving, by a receiver of a processing server, an answer submission from an external computing device, wherein the answer submission includes at least one digital signature and a plurality of exam answers; validating, by a processing device of the processing server, the digital signature using a public key of a cryptographic key pair; determining, for each of the plurality of exam answers, if the respective exam answer is correct or incorrect based on an answer key; generating, for each correct exam answer, a blockchain data value, wherein the blockchain data value includes at least the validated digital signature; transmitting, by a transmitter of the processing server, the generated blockchain data values to one or more nodes in a blockchain network for validation and addition to a blockchain associated with the blockchain network.
