Generating and Validating Certificates Using Blockchain

Abstract

Every year a lot of students graduate from the universities due to which a huge number of certificates are generated. The problem arises when it comes to authenticate these certificates. At present there is no such mechanism to validate the certificates. Hence, a lot of certificates are forged every year and are being used to fulfill their job requirements. To overcome this problem a decentralized web application is built that registers the certificate on ethereum blockchain and a smart contract to validate the certificates on blockchain. Once the data is entered by the user the details of certificates are pushed on ethereum blockchain using hashing. Using this generated hash we can verify the authenticity of the user.
