Document Verification Using Blockchain Technology
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The traditional document verification process in India’s education system is time-consuming, prone to errors, and vulnerable to forgery. This paper presents a blockchain-based solution that ensures secure, immutable, and efficient verification of academic certificates. By leveraging Ethereum blockchain, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and encryption protocols like AES, this system automates certificate generation and validation while safeguarding against document tampering. Furthermore, the integration of smart contracts eliminates the need for third-party verification, enabling fast and reliable document validation for universities, companies, and students. The proposed system not only enhances security but also improves transparency by providing a tamper-proof, traceable history of academic records. It reduces administrative burdens for institutions and streamlines the entire verification process, ensuring faster turnaround times. Additionally, the decentralized nature of blockchain allows for broader accessibility and eliminates the reliance on centralized authorities. As the system scales, it could potentially be integrated with cross-chain platforms for even wider adoption across various sectors, including healthcare, employment, and legal documentation.
