        abstract = {The project proposes a decentralized blockchain framework that ensures the integrity, authenticity, and efficiency of digital certificates. Leveraging the Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts, the system facilitates tamper-proof storage of certificate hashes and incorporates a consortium-based validation mechanism. A novel aspect is the implementation of a hash-mapped Bloom Filter which significantly reduces verification time and computational overhead by performing preliminary checks on certificate existence. The system integrates stakeholders including issuers, validators, students, and verifiers, and uses cryptographic hashing (SHA-256/Keccak-256) and RSA digital signatures to provide a functional, low-cost, and trusted solution for global certificate authentication.},
