Cryptographically secure digital certificates on a distributed ledger

Abstrak

Verification of a qualification, achievement, quality, or aspect of a person’s background is one of the biggest problems nowadays as we have seen many platforms where students can get fake credentials. Every organization must select professional and academically qualified employees to give quality service. As a result, corporations rely on academic certifications to confirm and measure their prospective employees’ academic qualifications. On the other hand, these employers lack a standardized process for confirming the legitimacy of academic certificates or degrees. Because the present procedures for verifying educational certifications are time-consuming, exhausting, and costly, just a few employers verify certificates for prospective employees. This research examines the issues that are related to the smart verification of someone’s credentials. To make the process of verifying digital credentials quicker, simpler, and more cost-effective, we suggest decentralized architecture. We present the prototype, design, and implementation of the proposed framework.
