Abstract

Traditional paper certificates and electronic certificates are difficult to handle and preserve, may need third parties to authenticate the certificate, take a lot of time, and have a potential of being tampered with. People routinely fabricate certificates to represent their credentials and degrees. A false certificate created by a skilled con artist is never easy to spot and address as the real one. As a result, it is imperative to enhance the certification and verification procedure. So, to avoid such issues, we want to develop a project where we can use blockchain technology for verification of certificates. Initially University will enter the students roll number and upload their college certificate and it will be stored on Interplanetary File System (IPFS) by generating a hash which uniquely identifies that block. Now any person like the student or recruiter or an administrator can fetch and verify the college certificate by providing a unique hash value and roll number of the student. And we can also validate the certificate by providing the certificate and roll number of the student in case we forget the generated hash value. This can result in increased security, lower costs, and a quicker platform for verifying educational certificates.
