Abstract:

Education and the ways in which people study and engage with educational institutions are evolving in the era of digital revolution. Additionally, there is a huge demand for increasing human knowledge due to the growth of social life. Nowadays, a growing number of people—from lifelong learners to doctorate candidates—use internet resources to advance their education and skill sets. Blockchain-based diploma learning, featuring student digital signature verification and verifiable certificate sharing, has the potential to revolutionize the education sector. This project proposes the implementation of a blockchain-based system to revolutionize diploma registration and verification, aiming to mitigate issues associated with counterfeit certificates and uncertified institutes. The system operates on a decentralized blockchain network, employing smart contracts to streamline the registration, verification, and approval processes. Institutes register on the blockchain, receiving unique identifiers, and issue digital certificates to students with individualized digital signatures for authenticity. By leveraging blockchain technology, this approach ensures the integrity and authenticity of academic credentials. The immutable nature of blockchain records makes it nearly impossible for certificates to be altered or falsified, fostering trust and transparency among employers, educational institutions, and other stakeholders. Moreover, students benefit from the convenience and accessibility of digital diplomas and certificates, reducing the risk of loss or damage. They also gain greater control over who can access their academic records, allowing for secure sharing with potential employers and other relevant parties. Furthermore, the streamlined verification process reduces the time and cost associated with background checks.
