Block Verify: Generation and Validation of e-Certificate Using Blockchain

Abstract

BlockVerify is a decentralized platform created to offer a safe and impenetrable way to use blockchain technology for document verification. BlockVerify guarantees the authenticity of documents by utilizing the immutability and transparency of the Ethereum blockchain. This makes it the perfect solution for individuals and organizations that need strong document verification. Users of BlockVerify can upload metadata for decentralized storage, including IPFS hashes, along with document hashes. The platform makes sure that the only people who can add and edit document records are authorized exporters who are managed and added by the contract owner. Document verification, ownership transfer, exporter management, and hash storage are important aspects. The project develops smart contracts using Solidity and Ethereum (Sepolia testnet), and it has an easy-to-use online interface using technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to promote communication and MetaMask for secure wallet interactions. With future ambitions to expand to the mainnet and support new document kinds, BlockVerify intends to combat document fraud by offering a dependable way to check the legitimacy of documents.
