Abstract

The issue of examination paper leakage continues to undermine the credibility of educational assessment systems worldwide. While the shift to online examinations reduces certain logistical risks, centralized systems remain vulnerable to threats such as database breaches, insider manipulation, and unauthorized device sharing.

To address these challenges, this paper proposes ExamShield, a hybrid blockchain-based examination system that ensures the integrity and security of exam processes. By integrating a Flask and SQLite backend with Ethereum smart contracts, the system stores cryptographic hashes of MCQs on the blockchain, making them tamper-proof. Additionally, dynamic question randomization using a candidate-specific paper hash and strict device fingerprinting help prevent collusion and unauthorized access, while maintaining efficient real-time performance.

Keywords— Blockchain Technology, Examination Security, Truffle Framework, Smart Contracts, Cryptographic Seeding, Device Fingerprinting, Immutable Ledger,
