Abstract
Nowadays Most tests are done on computers these days, but this also causes a lot of problems, such as leaking question papers, getting into them without permission and using data in ways that aren’t allowed. The current system manages everything from one place, so even a small mistake or security issue can mess up the whole exam process. To overcome these problems, Crowd Quest, a blockchain-based system, is developed. Used encryption, digital signatures, and smart contracts in system to keep the data safe. These features make sure that only the right people can get to the question paper and only at the right time. Exams are going digital these days, but there are still a lot of issues, such as leaks of question papers, unauthorized access, and a lack of security. Everything is handled from one place in the current system, so if something goes wrong, it can mess up the whole thing. It protects the data with things like encryption, digital signatures, and smart contracts. It also makes sure that only the right person can get to the question paper at the right time. Everything is easy to keep track of because all activities are recorded. Also, once data is saved, it can't be changed, which makes people more likely to trust it. In general, this system makes tests safer, clearer, and easier to handle. It could be helpful for schools and colleges down the road.
