Abstract

This study investigates the application of blockchain technology in enhancing the security and authenticity of digital certificates. Addressing key challenges such as fraud and the lack of a standardized verification process, the paper proposes a comprehensive framework aimed at fortifying the integrity of digital credentials. This framework is the utilization of blockchain as a distributed ledger, serving as a tamper-proof repository for recording certification transactions. Through this decentralized ledger, each certification issuance and verification action is securely recorded, enhancing trust and transparency in the certification process. The methodology includes the integration of a decentralized ledger for immutable record-keeping and implementation of smart contracts for automated authenticity checks, and the use of cryptographic measures to ensure data security. This approach promises significant implications for various sectors reliant on credential verification, advocating for a broader adoption of blockchain in digital certificates systems.
