The current analog system for managing educational certificates was unreliable and slow. Students have to request their official transcripts from their university registrar and pay their fees for each copy of the transcript requested. The person who has acquired the credentials should be in charge of them, but most of the time the students have to rely on third parties, such as universities or employers to store, verify and validate the credentials. Employers and universities still at times need to call the issuing authority of the certificate if they want to be sure that the transcript was not faked. It’s complicated and tedious, which is one of the major factors for fraud. Making certificates easily verifiable and transferable is one advantage of digital systems. There are several advantages of creating a digital infrastructure for certificates, but the stakes are high as such systems will grow forward to represent our professional reputations. When proposing a digital method of processing certificates, the elimination of counterfeit certificates from the system should be given top priority. Using a hash-based storage method to assure the authenticity and security of digital content kept on the platform, colleges can submit student certificates and authenticate certificates from other member universities. A permissioned blockchain-based system is employed in the proposed system for the safe verification of academic degrees. The Raft ordering service is used to handle numerous distributed orderers. Universities can upload their student's credentials and validate the certifications of other member universities. A hash-based storage system is used to store the digital contents of the certificate in order to guarantee its authenticity and security. The certificate will be hashed using the SHA-256 technique, then stored in a blockchain. The student can use this hash value to further verify their certificate. The university's reputation is determined using the Beta Reputation Algorithm. This is done in order to avoid or remove the network organization that helps phoney certificates or fake validation. The system can be accessed from any location in the globe if it is set up in a cloud environment.

As the world is gradually moving towards digitization, forgery of vital digital documents has become relatively easy. Therefore, the need for efficient and secure verification and authentication practices of digital documents is also increasing. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a set of technologies that build on core concepts in identity management, blockchain technology, and cryptography. SSI enables entities to create fraud-proof verifiable credentials and instantly verify the authenticity of a digital credential. The online document verification solutions must deal with a myriad of issues in regard to privacy and security. Moreover, various challenging and tedious processes have made document verification overly complex and time-consuming which motivated us to conduct this research. This work presents a novel framework for online document verification based on SSI technology. The solution address the complexity and interoperability issues that are present in the current digital document verification systems. We look at a particular use case, i.e., document verification in online loan processing and evaluate how this proposed approach can make an impact on the existing system. Our solution based on SSI standards replaces the intermediary and enables trust between players in the ecosystem. The technology also holds the potential to make the system more efficient, interoperable, and privacy-preserving.

“…To eliminate the third-party intermediary and allow users to make their transaction directly was the aim of Blockchain when it was introduced. As Bitcoin continues to grow in popularity, researchers and practitioners realize the enormous potential of its underlying technology [3]. Blockchain's unique capabilities including immutability, transparency, and trustworthiness was found to be useful not only in crypto currencies but also in many other fields.…”

A chain of blocks that contains information is the definition of Blockchain. The technique is intended to timestamp digital documents so that it is not possible to temper them. The purpose of blockchain is to solve the double records problem without the need of a central server. Blockchain provides a creative approach to storing information, executing transactions, conducting tasks and trust building. Blockchain is an emerging technology for the applications Smart Cities, Smart Grids, Healthcare, Education, Crypto-currency and Supply chain. This research work would offer a detailed analysis of Blockchain in the Educational domain. It also studies the various applications of Blockchain technology. Keywords: Blockchain, Smart Cities, Healthcare, Education, Supply Chain, Privacy, Security.
