BLOCKCHAIN BASED MINIMIZATION OF CERTIFICATE VERIFICATION COMPLEXITY

Abstract

Degrees and school records are important proofs of accomplishment, but they are often handled in a way that is inefficient, prone to fraud, and in breach of privacy because it relies on old systems. A certificate management system that uses Hyperledger Fabric and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and runs on the blockchain is one idea for how to solve these issues. This method makes things easier to find and safer by storing certificates in a way that can't be changed centrally. Cutting-edge cryptographic algorithms are used to make an encrypted certificate over a secure gateway and store it in IPFS. Important metadata, like hash values, are kept on the blockchain. The chain code mechanism speeds up verification, which cuts down on the time needed to handle many documents. With the decentralized storage of IPFS and the clarity of blockchain, the solution makes updating certificate management safe, reliable, and quick.
