The document proposes a blockchain-based system to validate digital certificates. Some key points:
- The existing system of certificate issuance has security and forgery issues due to the lack of an effective verification mechanism.
- The proposed system uses blockchain to securely store certificate data and hashes on an immutable ledger. It issues, stores, and allows retrieval and verification of certificates through a common portal.
- The system has modules for certificate upload, security/authentication via hashing and digital signatures, and verification of certificates by anyone using the transaction ID and hash stored on the blockchain.
- This new system reduces the possibilities of forgery and ensures security, validity, and confidentiality of graduation certificates.
