Blockchain technology is a revolutionary innovation for its potential to build solutions where outsiders can transact with each other without being dependent on any middle person to supervise the transaction between the parties. In our conventional certificate validation system, employers have to believe the mediators i.e. the certificate holder, instructor or college authorities for the authenticity of the certificate. Because of the trust, there are vulnerabilities to false exercises by the corrupted middlemen to deliver fake certificates. Fake certificates cause critical harms to the society. It is possible to create such certificates at very low cost and also the process to verify them is very complex. This problem can be solved by generating the digital certificates on the blockchain. The blockchain technology provides immutable, decentralized and publicly verifiable transactions. These properties of blockchain can be used to generate the digital certificate which are anti-counterfeit and easy to verify. It is because the generated digital certificate cannot be edited or modified since it is generated through blockchain, which makes it unchangeable.
