        abstract = {Digital certificate forgery and manipulation pose serious challenges in academic and professional verification systems. Traditional verification methods depend on centralized authorities, resulting in delays, high costs, and security risks. This paper proposes Block Certify, a block chain-based digital certificate verification system that ensures authenticity, immutability, and transparency. Certificate hashes are stored on a block chain ledger, enabling instant and trustworthy verification without third-party involvement. The system enhances trust, reduces verification time, and prevents document tampering.},
