Modelo de gestión de confianza descentralizado basado en blockchain para emisión y verificación de insignias digitales abiertas

Abstract

Abstract: This master's thesis presents a decentralized trust management model through the use of blockchain technology for the issuance and verification of open digital badges, directly addressing the current challenges of security and transparency in the management of educational credentials. Through analysis and the implementation of a prototype using technologies such as Java with Spring Boot and Django, the usability and implementation of blockchain to ensure the integrity and accessible verification of credentials are demonstrated, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges inherent in its adoption by educational institutions. This work not only provides an innovative solution to the difficulties of credential authentication in the educational field but also establishes a foundation for the future standardization and acceptance of digital credentials, marking a path towards transformation in the management of educational information and its recognition in the job market. The research contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in educational technologies, proposing a practical and theoretical framework for future development in this critical field.
