Description

Academic certificates are essential for an individual's career and hence they are more prone to being tampered. This paper proposes an idea of sharing certificates and verifying their authenticity using blockchain technology. Blockchain paves the way for secure storage and sharing of information. Its main focus is to maintain trust among users. This proposal focuses on designing and implementing a system that will prove to be a solution for addressing the issue of fake certificates using Hyperledger Fabric. The technology here is tamper-proof and maintains transparency. This system will have a database of academic certificates awarded by the University, which is recorded as a transaction using the Hyperledger Fabric, which further can be referred by other organizations present in the network to verify the authenticity of the certificates using the information provided by the students to the database. This system provides end to end encryption. 2022 IEEE.
