Doc-Chain: A University Document Verification Blockchain

Abstract

In today's digital world there are a lot of issues in verifying the legitimacy of documents that an individual provides such as School/College mark sheets, Course certificates, etc. Companies are concerned whether a certificate provided to them is legit or forged. Verifying these documents manually or by offline visits is a tedious procedure and takes days to complete. The use of physical documents is also inconvenient and inefficient in today's fast paced digital world. In this paper, to counter this forgery issue a platform using blockchain technology is suggested. Blockchain provides immutability, once the document is stored in the blockchain it cannot be changed. An overview of the working and implementation of our platform and the functionalities provided are presented.
