Abstract:
The "Blockchain Certificate Validation and Verification System" introduces an innovative approach to academic credential verification, leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced security, decentralization, and user control. Unlike traditional verification methods, our system stores encrypted certificate data in Firebase and Pinata, ensuring unmatched authenticity and ownership. The hash value provided by Pinata is stored on the blockchain, enabling secure and decentralized verification. Compared to existing systems, our solution offers immutability, transparency, and accountability through unalterable records for all certificate transactions. Powered by Ethereum smart contracts, it provides precise access management and customizable validation protocols. Technically, the system's frontend utilizes ReactJS, HTML, and CSS for a seamless user experience, while backend operations are managed using Node.js, Firebase and Ethereum. Certificates are uploaded and stored in Firebase and Pinata, with hash values secured on the blockchain. In addition to core functionalities, users enjoy features like certificate issuing, verification, and real-time notifications. Certificates can be designated as public or private, with an activity log for transparency. Once issued, certificates are encrypted, with metadata stored on the blockchain. Decryption keys are required for certificate validation, ensuring robust data integrity. Our system offers rapid, secure certificate validation while proving cost-effective compared to traditional methods. By harnessing blockchain technology, the "Blockchain Certificate Validation and Verification System" sets a new standard for secure, decentralized, and user-controlled credential verification with advanced technology and intuitive design.
