A blockchain-based system designed for secure and decentralized verification of academic certificates. This project aims to prevent counterfeit academic credentials by utilizing blockchain technology to create an immutable and transparent record for certificate issuance and validation.
Academic certificate verification is often plagued by issues of forgery and inefficiency. This blockchain-based solution seeks to resolve these challenges by storing certificates on a decentralized ledger, where they can be validated securely and transparently. By leveraging smart contracts, this system allows authorized institutions to issue, store, and verify certificates without reliance on a central authority.
- Decentralized Verification: Using blockchain to ensure that all certificates are immutable and can be verified by anyone with access.
- Smart Contracts: Automates certificate issuance and verification, ensuring only authorized institutions can interact with the system.
- Transparency and Security: All interactions, from certificate creation to validation, are logged on the blockchain, making it tamper-proof.
- Reduced Fraud: A public ledger drastically reduces the chance of counterfeit certificates, providing greater trust for employers and institutions.
/contracts: Contains the smart contract files that manage certificate creation and verification./frontend: Holds the frontend code to interact with the blockchain./backend: Includes the backend code for interacting with the blockchain and managing requests./migrations: Migration scripts for deploying contracts to the blockchain network.README.md: Project documentation and instructions.
- Blockchain Platform: Ethereum
