It is simple to produce phony certifications due to the market's easy access to inexpensive, sophisticated equipment and the rapid growth of information technology, as well as the lack of transparency and verifiability in the reporting process. The complicated method of authentication entails numerous difficult validation steps. Additionally, bank statements, significant papers, transfer documents, certifications of training, etc. Each type of content is distinctive and necessitates a different handling strategy. Students' academic transcripts are significant records provided by their universities. The best fake credentials are always hard to spot and are handled much like legitimate ones. Recently, blockchain technology has been cited as a potential method of information system verification and as a crucial weapon in the conflict against information fraud and malpractice.This research seeks to enhance the data analysis process using blockchain technology. Our focus is to build a decentralized and distributed ledger that holds the papers and guarantees their immutability.

“…The ongoing problem of document fraud in South Africa, offering a system that incorporates 2D barcodes, digital signatures, OCR, cryptographic hashing, and blockchain for improved document verification. Despite current demonstration trials, the goal is to build a viable system to check document integrity and identify tampering in the face of widespread hardcopy document use [5]. To fight the issue of false academic diplomas, this article suggests a blockchainbased solution based on Hyperledger Fabric.…”

In digitized world, digital documents are essential for information sharing. However, some organizations continue to place their reliance in traditional hard-copy formats concerning about the legitimacy of documents. This study presents an innovative approach to document verification with digital signatures, distributed databases, and QR codes. Using a two-step process for data integrity and document authentication, the study approach entails developing a Smart Document with a QR code and digital signature. For increased security and scalability, the system design distributes hash fragments among several databases using the hash split approach. The system's excellent performance, resistance to sluggish HTTP-based attacks, and effectiveness in document verification are highlighted by the results and debates. The report ends with recommendations for future improvements to strengthen the system's resilience, like implementing more secure database engines and enhancing fault tolerance. In conclusion, this method offers a viable way to verify documents in hardcopy and electronic formats in a secure and scalable manner.

“…Conversely, making use of physical documents may result in a compromise of their integrity. The authors of [34] proposed a solution for document verification that employs an integration of blockchain, optical character recognition (OCR), digital signatures, and two-dimensional (2D) bar-code technologies. The experiment yielded a remarkable 100 percent accuracy.…”

The field of electronic government (e-government) is gaining prominence in contemporary society, as it has a significant influence on the wider populace within the context of a technologically advanced world. E-government makes use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at various levels and domains within government agencies and the public sector. ICT reduces manual labour, potential fraud points, errors, and process lapses. The Internet’s quick accessibility and the widespread adoption of modern technologies and disciplines, such as big data, the Internet of Things, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, have accelerated the need for e-government. However, these developments raise a number of data reliability and precision concerns. The adoption of blockchain technology by researchers demonstrates its efficacy in addressing such issues. The present study proposes the SECHash system model, which integrates blockchain and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies for the purpose of regulating the processing of incoming documents by governmental agencies. As a case study to assess the proposed system paradigm, the study uses a document containing incoming invoices. The proposal seeks to maintain the integrity of document data by prohibiting its modification after acceptance. Additionally, SECHash guarantees that accepted documents will not be destroyed or lost. The analysis demonstrates that using the SECHash model system will decrease fraudulent transactions by eradicating manual labour and storing documents on a blockchain network.
