Certificate Authentication System

Abstract

The purpose of our creation of this online certificate verification system is that it can be used by a student or an institution's authority from home or anywhere. If certificate verification is required for university admissions, and job recruitment, then using our site can verify the certificate within a short period. It is very easy to understand whether the certificate is original or not. Doing this certificate verification is a waste of time and many times there are chances of various frauds. To be subjected to more such harassment. Considering more such aspects and inspired by it, we thought of creating this site. A student and an institution can benefit by using this site. The student can verify his/her certificate to see if there is any factual error in the certificate. A university can use this site to verify the validity of a student's previous certificates while admitting them. Again if a student wants to go abroad for higher education and requires previous certificate verification, then the site can be used. A company can use this site to verify the validity of its certificates while hiring someone. To build this site we used Python code that we did in Visual Studio Code. We have used different types of libraries to perform different types of tasks, e.g. we have used OS libraries to trace files and modify files. Used Pytesseract library to convert images to data. Used OCR, a numerical library, to process the converted data. Used it to perform various mathematical operations. Used which is commonly used to capture videos and photos. To use this site the user needs to login to this site first, then the user will take a photo of the certificate and upload it to the site and search. Our site will then extract the data from the user’s uploaded images and match them with the database on the website. If the data matches then it will give a message saying valid, and if it does not match then it will give a message saying it is not valid.
