TUDocChain-Securing Academic Certificate Digitally on Blockchain

Abstract

In the digital technology, Digital Documents become a part of organization, institution and educational field whether public or private. Digital Documents not only authorize the transition of information but also maintain the data in digital form. Academic Certificates approve the procurement of learning outcome. Certificates become necessary for people’s professional careers. It is essential to save these certificates in long-term available and tamper proof ledgers. A Blockchain stores transaction in a confirmable and persistent way, therefore it is appropriate to save certificate or learning certification. Blockchain divulge fraud of certificates and it substructure learning records. This is accomplished by keeping digital crypto-hashes of learning certificates and controlling authorization integrity through the development of smart contract on Blockchain. The TUDocChain is the platform that entitle authorize the academic certificates on public ledger in a reliable and sustainable format. In this paper, we present the Blockchain for education platform as a practical solution for issuing, validating and sharing of certificate.
