Design and implementation of secure student score system
Yiming Su · Applied and Computational Engineering · 2023
The purpose of designing this system is to provide schools with a new way to make score certifications of a student and a safer way to search for a student’s previous academic scores. When a student is applying for a new school to further his study, the school always uses his previous academic scores to decide whether to enroll him. The current way for a school to mark a student and to search for a new student’s score record is depend on the student himself, which faces the problem of illegal modification and data leakage. The system mentioned in this paper can add a certification that includes the time information and score information. It can also use the digital signatures of teachers and headmasters to ensure that the scores are given by the corresponding teacher. This system does not include the direct Grade Point Average (GPA), but just includes the raw scores of each subject. Because different schools have different ways to turn the raw scores into a GPA and they also have different GPA upper limitations.
