QR Code Based Digitized Marksheet System

Abstract

Today's world is the digital world and most of the data are stored in digital format. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize these data and preserve them in an eco-friendly manner. This paper presents a new method to digitize the academic transcript i.e. mark-sheets, and embed the digital format in the mark-sheet itself in the form of encrypted QR Code, so that the digital data can not be retrieved by any unauthorized user. In this way, we can save a lot of digital space, which is necessary to save those digital academic records of each student. In our new marksheet system, the digital data, which is embedded in the marksheet in form of encrypted QR Code, can only be retrieved and decrypted using our own web-application, which is hosted over network. Our new mark-sheet system introduces a new generation of digital academic transcripts which will be useful in universities.
