ChainCert platform: Verification of authenticity of certificates by exploiting hybrid Blockchain technologies

Blockchain is a well-known immutable, transparent and anti-counterfeit platform. As such it can be appropriate for submitting certificates for validation and safe-keeping. However, because of its requirements for complex and heavy computations for enhanced security and verification of each submission in the network, in this project, we will first study both public and private Blockchain platforms in detail, in terms of costs, performance, security, throughput and vulnerability. Then we will design a cost-efficient hybrid Blockchain model for validation and authentication of certificates. The proposed method has a great impact to make sure that the paper-based certificates are authenticated and original.
This project has been suggested by the organization.
