DIUcerts DApp

Abstract

Educational certificate verification is the process of checking and verifying the certificate legitimacy of graduate students. It is a costly, lengthy, and time-consuming procedure as university authorities each year investing millions of dollars on maintaining the entire process. The employer also takes plenty of time for verifying the authenticity of the applicant’s certificate. The current certification system involves providing physical certificates to the candidates. For this reason, they aren’t tamper-resistant and can be lost anytime. Also due to counterfeiting the certificates by scammers and issued by a lot of illegal institutions is make the process hazardous. People frequently lie about their degrees and qualifications by counterfeiting certificates. A fake certificate generated by skillful scammers is always tough to identify and can be addressed as the original one. Therefore, there is a crucial need to upgrade the certification and verification process. In this article, we have introduced the DIUcerts - a blockchain-based decentralized platform to overcome the mentioned problem is stated. This platform offers an easy way to issue, check, and verify educational certificates. Additionally, in DIUcerts, data doesn’t have to be stored in one place as each certificate’s information is kept in an individual file and entire issuance and verifications are done through the Ethereum platform. With this infrastructure, the cost of maintaining a blockchain-based certificate verification system could be highly minimized as compared to building a similar application on a centralized database. As a result, DIUcerts can lead to better security, cost savings, and a time-saving platform.
