【Abstract】The education sector is currently experiencing profound changes, primarily driven by the widespread adoption of online platforms for conducting examinations. This paper delves into the utilization of smart contracts as a means to revolutionize the monitoring and execution of online examinations, thereby guaranteeing the traceability of evaluation data and examinee activities. In this context, the integration of advanced technologies such as the PoseNet algorithm, derived from the TensorFlow Model, emerges as a pivotal component. By leveraging PoseNet, the system adeptly identifies both single and multiple faces of examinees, thereby ensuring the authenticity and integrity of examination sessions. Moreover, the incorporation of the COCO dataset facilitates the recognition of objects within examination environments, further bolstering the system's capabilities in monitoring examinee activities.of paramount importance is the secure storage of evidence collected during examinations, a task efficiently accomplished through the implementation of the blockchain technology. This platform not only ensures the immutability of data but also safeguards against potential instances of tampering, thereby upholding the credibility of examination results. Through the utilization of smart contracts, the proposed framework not only streamlines the examination process but also instills transparency and integrity, thereby addressing inherent challenges encountered in traditional examination methods. One of the key advantages of this technological integration lies in its ability to modernize examination procedures while concurrently reinforcing trust and accountability within the educational assessment ecosystem. By harnessing the power of smart contracts, educational institutions can mitigate concerns pertaining to data manipulation and malpractice, thereby fostering a more secure and reliable examination environment. Furthermore, the transparency afforded by blockchain technology ensures that examination outcomes are verifiable and auditable, instilling confidence among stakeholders and enhancing the overall credibility of the assessment process. In conclusion, the adoption of smart contracts represents a paradigm shift in the realm of educational assessment, offering a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by traditional examination methods. By embracing advanced technologies such as PoseNet and blockchain, educational institutions can not only streamline examination procedures but also uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability. As such, the integration of smart contracts holds immense potential in shaping the future of online examinations, paving the way for a more efficient, transparent, and trustworthy assessment ecosystem.
