摘要

The falsification of diplomas and transcripts poses a serious problem in the academic and professional worlds. These dishonest practices can compromise the credibility of educational institutions and damage the reputation of legitimate graduates. Verifying the authenticity of these documents often involves lengthy and costly processes, requiring the involvement of multiple stakeholders. To address this challenge, blockchain emerges as an innovative and secure solution. This distributed ledger technology allows for the transparent and tamper-proof recording and validation of diplomas and transcripts. Each issued document can be stored as a transaction on the blockchain, ensuring instant traceability and easy verification of authenticity. By eliminating the need for intermediaries, blockchain reduces costs and delays while increasing the reliability of the certification process. Furthermore, the use of smart contracts can further automate and secure the issuance and verification of diplomas, simplifying the process for all parties involved. In this paper, we propose a decentralized application (Dapp) that integrates blockchain technology with the decentralized storage InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This setup uses a network of decentralized nodes to store file copies, allowing retrieval via a unique hash that identifies each file. IPFS manages data storage, while the blockchain guarantees the validity of this data by recording the corresponding hashes.
