Certificate verification using Ethereum blockchain system

Abstract

Students must present the certificates to institutions or companies. Manual verification becomes a tedious task.The absence of an appropriate anti-counterfeiting system leads to situations where graduation certificates are found to be forged. To make data safer and more secure everything needs to be digitized with the principle of confidentiality, credibility and availability. All of these can be done with Blockchain-based technology. Our system consists of a certificate authority that will generate certificates and those certificates will be reviewed by a committee within that organization before it was sent to students via Ethereum Network. Each certificate has a unique hash key and can be used to verify the validity of a certificate by any organization. The benefits of system are that students don't have to worry about their graduation certificates being lost or damaged and verifying the validity of certificates is quite easy.
