This document discusses developing a digital certificate verification application using blockchain technology on the Ethereum platform. It proposes using blockchain to securely store certificate data in order to address problems with lost, fake, or manually verified certificates. The application would use smart contracts on Ethereum to verify certificates. It describes building the application with a decentralized front-end, smart contracts to store and verify certificates, and storing data on the Ethereum blockchain. The document outlines the architecture, software requirements including Solidity, Ganache and Metamask, and provides frameworks, flowcharts and plans to test a proof of concept for the application.

2. INTRODUCTION
• A certificate is a proof of a graduates qualification and can be used to
apply for a job or other related matters.
• Whenever applicants apply for the job the organizations have to verify all
certificates manually which is very time-consuming process.
• Blockchain technology is used to ensure that the security, validity and
confidentiality of graduation certificates would be improved

3. • Blockchain is an emerging technology introduced
in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
• It is distributed ledger and growing list of records,
called blocks, that are link using cryptography.
• It also series of immutable record of data that is
managed by cluster of computers.
• Blockchain can store data of user and cannot be
modified.
WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?

4. • Network based on ethereum platform was built.
• Open source computing platform based on Blockchain and
operating system featuring smart contract
• Designed to serve as a runtime environment for smart
contracts based on Ethereum.
• Instruct the EVM to execute applications by using a high-
level language called Solidity which is for developing smart
contract that run on the EVM

ETHEREUM VIRTUAL MACHINE

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Problem of losing certificates
• losing their certificates such as misplaced their certificates and
damaged. This situation, will make it difficult for them to apply
for work or study.
2. Waste time
• verify all certificates manually and it take a long time
exspecially for employer in employment industry.
3. Production of fake certificates
• become trends

6. OBJECTIVE
1.To study the applicability of decentralized application for digital
certificates verification in smart campus environment.
2.To develop and implement digital certification verification
application based on blockchain ethereum platform.
3.To test the applicabality of the developed application for graduates
in UniSZA entering employment industry .

7. TECHNOLOGY
blockchain based
on Ethereum
platform.
USER
students, job
applicant and
employer.
SCOPE

8. LIMITATION
1. Network scalability of the smart contract .
• single, shared network.
• strict limitation on the number of transactions that the network can
process in any given second.
• Ethereum blockchain can only process 15 transactions per second, or
900 transactions per minute.
2. Limited knowledge about solidity language that are difficult and hard
to understand for beginner.

9. EXPECTED RESULT
• In university environment, scroll and certificates
for graduates can be easily copied and altered for
many illegal actions and purposes. Therefore, it is
expected that the developed application is
capable to verify scrolls and certificates issued for
UniSZA's graduates and further ensure the
originality of these documents are preserved
especially for employment industry.

(Dapp)
FRONT-END
Smart Contracts
Ethereum
Blockchain
BACK-END

12. Decentralized Application (Dapp)
• Dapp consists of back-end code that runs on a decentralized peer-
to-peer network. A Dapp can also have a user interface, created by
front end code that makes calls to the back end.
• Dapps are different with Apps because it run on the blockchain
network.

13. Smart Contracts
• Smart contract is a computer code running on top of a
blockchain containing a set of rules which the parties to the
smart contract agree to interact with each other on certain
conditions.
• Basically, developer can employ Solidity to write smart
contracts and compile the instructions into bytecode for the
EVM to execute.

14. Ethereum Blockchain
• Ethereum is an open source computing platform based on
Blockchain and operating system featuring smart contract
• Ethereum provides the platform for creating the
decentralized application based on smart contract.

15. Software requirement
1. Decentralized Application ( Front-end)
- an open source application that offers a standard for initializing, issuing and verifying blockchain-based certificates.
2. Smart contracts
a) Remix IDE
- open source tool that helps to write smart contracts using solidity language straight from the browser.
- it also help to debug and deploy Ethereum smart contracts.
b) Metamask
- This plugin provides a convenient way of handling the transactions that happens on web browser.
- It allows the user to load the private key of their blockchain client account(Ethereum account) into the plugin.

16. 3. Ethereum Blockchain
a) Ganache
-Ganache is a personal blockchain for Ethereum development that can use to deploy contracts, develop
applications, and run tests.
-allows to create a private Ethereum blockchain to run tests, execute commands, and inspect state while
controlling how the chain operates.
-It gives the ability to perform all actions would on the main chain without the cost.
