Abstract
Each year, billions of students complete their studies, continue their education, and either find employment in the private sector or in graduate school. The business also invests a lot of effort in verifying the validity of the applicant’s certificate. To reflect their credentials and degrees, people frequently counterfeit certificates. An expert con artist’s fake certificate is never simple to identify. Therefore, improving the certification verification process is really necessary. Recently, Blockchain technology was introduced, which might replace the manual student verification method. This work provides a decentralized student verification infrastructure built on the Blockchain that will make it simple to issue, review, and validate academic credentials. Based on the comparison of hashes currently present in the Blockchain, the student’s identity and academic history are both confirmed. The archives are also linked to the understudy in the suggested method to provide an additional layer of assurance. This approach will aid academics and institutions in keeping the system transparent and secure.
