What is
The main difference
Blockchain?

this is one of the ways of Decentralization. That is, firstly, no


distributed data storage. This regulator or organization monitors this

Blockchain is a chain of blocks. In each of It is believed that the distributed registry

Areas of application of
blockchain in Kazakhstan

According to the instructions of the head of state, the


National Association for the Development of Blockchain and
Crypto Technologies operates in the country, which intends
to integrate Kazakhstan into the global blockchain
ecosystem, as well as the Kazakhstan Association of
Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies (CABC). In addition, IT
clusters are being created in Kazakhstan, in which
acceleration programs have already begun to work.
Last year, the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain and
Cryptocurrencies signed memorandums of cooperation
with the profile associations of South Korea, Russia and
Belarus, with the leading university of Kazakhstan - Narxoz,
with the Astana International Financial Center, with the
Autonomous Cluster Fund "Park of Innovative Technologies".
Representatives of CABCs work in Singapore, the UAE,
Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Lithuania.
Advantages of using Blockchain
The introduction of blockchain technologies in educational
01 institutions will avoid the main security problems

02 Ransomware viruses will no longer become


such a big problem for educational institutions

03 Personal information in the blockchain


is protected by cryptography

04 DDOS attacks will become less dangerous


as traffic will be distributed.

Homomorphic
05 encryption.
Block structures

The first logical step is to determine the structure of


the block. To keep everything as simple as possible,
we included only the most necessary: index, mark,
data, hash and hash of the previous block
ANALYSIS OF CYBERSECURITY IN EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS
Security Platforms

Human
Information can be stolen by copying to temporary media,
forwarded by e-mail. In addition, if you have access to the
server, changes to the databases can be made manually

Program
For theft of information, special programs are used that
provide copying passwords, copying and intercepting
information, redirecting traffic, decrypting, making changes to
the work of other programs.

Hardware
It is associated either with the use of special technical means,
or with the interception of electromagnetic radiation through
various channels, including telephone channels.

Tshark at the server level
Since the blockchain is at least one of the most
secure and persistent systems, you still need
to think about how to implement 99% protection
against attacks, DDoS attacks and other
external attacks. And thanks to our research, we
came across one application that will help us
remotely monitor the "state" of our blockchain.
This is Tshark.

In practice, system administration quite often has to deal with


complex situations in which neither statistics collection tools (for
example, netstat), nor standard utilities based on the ICMP
protocol (ping, traceroute and others) help. In such cases,
specialized diagnostic utilities are often used that make it
possible to "listen" to network traffic and analyze it at the level of
transmission units of individual protocols. They are called traffic
analyzers, and in professional jargon they are called sniffers.
With their help, you can, firstly, localize network problems and
diagnose them more accurately, and secondly, detect parasitic
traffic and identify malicious software in the network

CONCLUSION
Blockchain can make this remarkable
