Abstract: Millions of students complete their education each year and go on to do higher studies or a corporate job. In this case student credentials are verified through a lengthy document verification process. This results in significant overhead as documents are transferred between institutions for verification. It is a costly, lengthy, and time-consuming procedure as university authorities invest millions of dollars in maintaining the entire process each year. The employer also takes plenty of time to counterfeiting certificates. A fake certificate generated by skilful scammers is always tough to identify and address as the original one. Therefore, there is a crucial need to upgrade the certification and verification process. This project introduced a Block chain based decentralized Student Verification platform that offers an easy way to issue, check, and verify educational certificates. The student's identity and document are both verified by matching the hashes already present in the Block chain. Also, in the proposed method the documents are linked to the student to another layer of verification. The implementation of this proposed platform can be used to issue, receive and verify the student and their certificates.
