BlockChain Assurance for Certificate Validity

Indian tertiary education is estimated to have 26.3 million students enrolled in 2018 -2019 and everywhere 9 million graduates each year. Whether a student is in high school, college or graduate school, we produce multiple certificates including: There were no results, diplomas, certificates for the entire semester. Students must present these diplomas to any group or company to be admitted. Obtaining these certifications and personally verifying their accuracy can take time. The degree certificate proves to be fake as there is no proper anti-counterfeiting system. To enhance data security, everything must be converted to digital form according to the principles of confidentiality, reliability and availability. All this is possible with the block chain technology. In other words, the flow of the system is determined by the issuer providing the certificate. The entity from which the student graduates, or issuer, is also a validator. The generated certificate is presented to the student along with a unique hash printed from the block chain. If a student applies for a job at a particular company or is asked for a background check, the student can share the certificate hash with the recruiter or organization. Organizations can then decide whether to store the hash on the block chain. The block chain remains immutable. This means that data entered into the block chain cannot be changed. By comparing the generated hashes on the block chain network, companies can determine if a certificate is legitimate. Such an approach has the advantage that students are less likely to revoke or destroy certificates, and certificate verification is relatively straightforward.
