How are you? By Allah's grace, I'm doing very well.

The process of forgery and verification of certificates in the traditional education system is quite time-consuming and difficult. To solve this problem, blockchain technology can revolutionize the education sector, especially in the case of digital certificates or certificates. Using blockchain, it is possible to create certificates that are permanent, secure, and easily verifiable.

Certificate Problems : Weaknesses of the Traditional System

There are several major weaknesses in the verification and protection of certificate authenticity in the traditional education system

Certificate Forgery : Paper certificates or traditional digital certificates can be easily forged. Sometimes fraudsters create completely fake or altered certificates, which is a big problem for employers or higher education institutions.

Verification Complexity : Verifying the authenticity of a certificate often requires contacting the relevant educational institution, which is time-consuming and expensive. Especially when a student applies for higher education or a job in another country, this process is even longer.

Risk of storage and loss : There is a risk of losing or destroying paper certificates. Re-certification often involves administrative hassles.

Blockchain Solution : Permanent and Verifiable Digital Certificate

Blockchain can provide a permanent solution to these problems. Here, the information of a certificate is recorded in an immutable digital ledger

Digital Certificate Creation : When a student successfully completes a course or degree, the educational institution records the information of that certificate (such as the student's name, course, grade obtained, and date of passing) in the form of a cryptographic hash on the blockchain.

Permanent and Immutable : Once recorded on the blockchain, that data cannot be changed or deleted. As a result, there is no opportunity for certificate information to be forged.

Instant Verification : These certificates are sent to the student along with a cryptographic key or QR Code. Any third party (such as an employer or university) can verify the identity against the original data stored on the blockchain by scanning the QR code or using the unique hash of the certificate. This verification process is instantaneous and completely trustworthy.

Student Control : Since the certificate is on the blockchain, its ownership is completely in the hands of the student. The student himself can control who he allows to see his academic record and when.

Benefits : Benefits for students and employers

Blockchain-based digital certification system brings benefits to both students and certificate users

Student Benefits

Secure Storage : There is no fear of losing the certificate, as it is permanently stored on the blockchain.

Easy Access : Students can quickly access their certificate from anywhere in the world.

Personal Data Protection : There is no need to disclose personal sensitive information when sharing the certificate, only the authenticity of the certificate is proven.

Benefits for employers and educational institutions

Instant Verification : There is no need to wait for days to verify the authenticity of the certificate; the verification process is completed instantly.

Trust and Confidence : The risk of fake certificates is eliminated, which increases trust and confidence in the recruitment process.

Cost savings : Administrative costs and time are saved in the certification verification process.
