Digital Certificate Verification in Educational Sector Using Non-Interactive Zero Knowledge Proof and Blockchain

Numerous students have completed their studies and are now pursuing higher education or finding a new career in the workplace. In this case, a drawn-out document verification procedure is typically used to validate the student's qualifications. As documents must be sent between institutions for verification, this results in significant overhead. This exploration proposed a non-interactive zero-knowledge proof-based (NIZAP) digital certificate verification system, and RSA (Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) cryptographic accumulator for verifying records. This system is a reliable, decentralized method of managing certificates that can provide a common point of view for academic institutions, employers, and students. This proposed method achieves the deployment and verification of certificates more quickly, effectively, and securely. The prototype demonstrates the technique's viability in practical settings.
