Blockchain-based model to track and verify official certificates

Abstract

Document verification is a complicated domain with a variety of difficult and time-consuming methods to validate. Customized verification and authentication processes may be required for various sorts of papers, such as financial papers, government papers, transaction papers, educational credentials, and so on. A huge problem today we are facing is the number of fake certificates that are in circulation, this problem is quite predominant. This has become a new business for a long time. Hardworking people with genuine degrees/certificates have been suffering and they get rejected in the job market because of the lack of identification to differentiate between the original and the fake certificate. At times people are getting jobs through fake certificates and this becomes very dangerous. The scenario calls for a new system that can verify and authenticate certificates, their issuers, and their holders in a way that is much more efficient, simple, and intuitive to use, and efficiently mitigates widespread credential fraud. To combat the counterfeiting of academic certificates, our blockchain approach combines a verified distributed ledger with a cryptographic mechanism. Our Blockchain technology will also provide a standard sharing platform for storing and accessing documents, reducing overall verification time and allowing companies to quickly monitor and access real papers. Our system that helps to identify original certificates will help the hard-earned people to get their jobs in their desired organizations and all the fake circulation of certificates will be stopped because the system identifies the genuine true certificates.
