Abstract
With roughly a million students graduating each year, both those seeking further education and those entering the workforce rely on verifiable certificates. However, traditional paper certificates are vulnerable to counterfeiting, leading to frequent forgeries. To address this concern, this paper proposes a secure and reliable system utilizing blockchain technology for issuing digital certificates. This system creates tamper-proof digital certificates by calculating unique hash values for each electronic certificate and storing them on the blockchain. Paper certificates are then linked to QR codes and verification codes, enabling employers or institutions to effortlessly confirm a certificate's authenticity through quick mobile scans or website inquiries. This innovative approach offers a more secure and convenient solution for verifying educational credentials and fostering trust and transparency within the academic and professional landscape.
