Abstract
This paper proposes a solution to the longstanding challenges associated with traditional paper-based educational documents and certificates through the implementation of blockchain technology, specifically utilizing the Ethereum platform and smart contracts. The conventional issuance and verification processes are prone to inefficiencies, delays, and susceptibility to forgery, leading to significant setbacks in career progression and fostering educational scams. By leveraging blockchain, these issues can be addressed comprehensively. The proposed system involves the conversion of paper certificates into digital certificates upon student request. These digital certificates are then securely stored on the blockchain, with their authenticity verified through cryptographic hash functions. Each certificate is assigned a unique identifier and transaction hash value, ensuring tamper-proof verification through a centralized platform. This innovative approach not only streamlines the verification process but also enhances security and transparency, mitigating the risks associated with forgery and manipulation. By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, educational institutions, employers, and third-party verifiers can seamlessly authenticate credentials, fostering trust and efficiency in the professional landscape.
