Blockchain Based Academic Credentials Verification System

The integrity and authenticity of academic credentials have become increasingly critical in the digital era, where document forgery and tampering pose significant threats to educational institutions and employers. Traditional certificate verification systems rely on centralized databases that are vulnerable to single points of failure and lack transparency. This study introduces an innovative blockchain-based student certificate verification system that leverages cryptographic hashing and distributed ledger technology to provide immutable, tamper-proof credential verification. The system employs SHA-256 hashing algorithms, QR code generation, and real-time tampering detection to ensure certificate authenticity while offering seamless verification for students, institutions, and third-party verifiers through a multi-user web platform.
