Sistema de gerenciamento de credenciais para universitários baseado em blockchain

Abstract

Challenges in the management and authentication of academic certificates with traditional methods include dependence on third parties for access, storage vulnerabilities, and slow verification processes. Additionally, the lack of detailed information on certificates and the significant impact of fraud highlight the need for a more robust and secure solution. This work develops an application based on blockchain technology to address these challenges. The proposal aims to develop an application for managing and authenticating academic certificates using blockchain technology. Specific objectives were established, such as creating a system robust against forgeries, facilitating an agile and reliable validation process, and evaluating the Ethereum and Solana blockchains for implementing smart contracts. The developed application, using Ethereum and Solana, demonstrated effectiveness in the digital issuance and verification of certificates, with Solana offering significantly lower transaction costs. The results show that the solution is secure, transparent, and efficient for the management of academic certificates.
