Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to design and implement a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof attendance management system using blockchain technology, specifically leveraging Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 deployed on Ubuntu 24.04. The paper aims to demonstrate how blockchain can efficiently replace traditional attendance systems by providing enhanced reliability, integrity, and auditability. Through practical implementation, the study evaluates performance, ease of use, and scalability, offering insights into blockchain's applicability in educational institutions and workplaces to mitigate common issues associated with traditional attendance tracking methods, such as data tampering, inefficiency, and lack of trust.  

Methodology: The methodology involves deploying a blockchain-based attendance system using Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 on Ubuntu 24.04. It includes requirements analysis, blockchain network setup, smart contract (chain code) development, and frontend-backend integration using React.js and Node.js. This is followed by rigorous functional and performance testing to ensure transparency, security, scalability, and overall system robustness.

Result/Analysis: The analysis of the blockchain-based attendance system demonstrated significant improvements in data security, transparency, and efficiency compared to traditional attendance methods. Transactions executed reliably, achieving an average throughput of approximately 200 transactions per second with minimal latency, validating the scalability of Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 on Ubuntu 24.04. The use of cryptographic certificates ensured robust security, preventing unauthorized access and data manipulation. Additionally, integration of a React.js frontend provided user-friendly interaction, enhancing usability. Performance tests confirmed efficient resource utilization, maintaining stable CPU and memory consumption under varying workloads. Overall, results indicate the system's feasibility for reliable, secure, and scalable attendance management.

Originality/Values: This study uniquely integrates Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 with Ubuntu 24.04, creating a practical, secure, and transparent blockchain-based attendance solution. Its originality lies in demonstrating real-world applicability, comprehensive performance evaluation, and detailed system integration insights, contributing valuable knowledge for institutions seeking innovative, decentralized, and efficient alternatives to traditional attendance tracking systems.

Type of Research: Experimental-based Research.
