ORICERT – FRAUDULENT DEGREE AND MARKSHEET DETECTION

Abstract

Identifying fake degrees and marksheets is becoming more and more important intoday's educational environment, since thespread of fake credentials jeopardizes employer confidence, academic integrity, and social standards. An overview of the most recent developments in marksheet and fraudulent degree detection techniques—including both established techniques and cutting-edge technologies—is provided Conventional techniques for identifying forged credentials frequently entail manual verification procedures, such as physical document inspection, institution verification,and cross- referencing with official databases. Although these techniques are still fundamental, they are prone to human error and frequently ineffective whenmanaging high numbers of credentials. Recent years have seen a boom intechnology advancements meant to improve the scalability and accuracy of fraudulent credential detection in response to these difficulties. For example, machine learning algorithms have demonstrated potential in automating the authentication process through the analysis of anomalies and patterns found in digital documents. Using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, textual data from academic transcripts and diplomas may be extracted and analysed to help find discrepancies or anomalies. Additionally, blockchain technology has become a disruptive force in credential verification by providing decentralized, immutable ledgers for academic accomplishments. Employers and educational institutions may reduce the danger of credential fraud by establishing safe, unchangeable archives of student Records by utilizing blockchain-based credentialing systems. Notwithstanding these developments, there are still issues with fraudulent credential detection, such as the necessity for international collaboration in the fight against cross-border credential fraud and the adaptation of fraudsters to changing detection techniques. Furthermore, the ethical implications related to algorithmic bias and data privacy emphasize how crucial it is to implement and supervise detection systems responsibly.
