Abstract

Creating fake documents and certificates by duplicating them from the real ones has become most popular in the recent days. Moreover, documents are stored in the respective offices in a centralized database, and to access them one should always be physically present in that office. Also, during the pandemic, most of the schools, colleges, and offices were subjected to online document storage. Therefore, this paper proposes a blockchain system as a solution for the taut storage of documents in the form of electronic files on a blockchain network. The immutable property will aid the document from being duplicated, and will result in the permanent entry of the document in the distributed databases. Also, the blockchain belongings of the decentralized ledger structure will help to keep the files safe and unaffected forever.
