Abstract

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.
