Decentralized Blockchain-based Platform for Managing and Issuing Academic Certificates

Abstract

This paper presents a blockchain-based platform for managing and issuing academic certificates that features security, transparency, non-repudiation and traceability. Relying on the security provided by Ethereum blockchain and using asymmetrical cryptography in certificate generation, combined with certificate revocation mechanisms, the proposed platform offers a reliable, decentralized and secure solution that can be used by academic institutions to streamline the management of academic certificates and reduce bureaucracy.
