Abstract
The certificates and grade reports are crucial records for anyone applying for a job or seeking higher education because they act as identification verification. The traditional paper-based certificate method makes obtaining such a crucial document highly timeconsuming and expensive. A trusted authority issues the digital certificate, which is a document that may be used to demonstrate authenticity. Technology development has made it possible for the practice of producing fraudulent report cards and diplomas. Document fraud and forgery have gone unreported due to a lack of anti-forge mechanisms. E-documents use digital signatures to enable authentication, integration, and non-repudiation, however forgery is possible when the key itself is compromised. In order to prevent certificate fraud and guarantee the security, legitimacy, and secrecy of diplomas, blockchain technology is deployed. Blockchain ensures correctness and trustworthiness of information and allows for quick authentication of degree certificates
