This project demonstrates an online student certificate verification system using SHA-256 hashing. Each certificate generates a unique hash to ensure authenticity and prevent forgery.
Student Certificate Verification System is a web-based application that allows users to verify the authenticity of student certificates.
The system generates a unique SHA-256 hash for each uploaded certificate, ensuring data integrity and preventing forgery.
This project demonstrates how cryptographic hashing can be used for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof certificate verification in an online environment.
During the hackathon, I designed and developed a basic web-based Student Certificate Verification System. I created a simple frontend using HTML and JavaScript, where users can upload a certificate file and generate a SHA-256 hash. This hash represents the unique identity of the certificate and helps demonstrate how cryptographic hashing can be used to verify authenticity. I also prepared a demo video showing the working flow of the application and documented the project with a clear description and GitHub repository. Through this hackathon, I learned about hashing concepts, basic web development, and how to present a project effectively in an online hackathon environment.
No fundraising has been conducted for this project. The project was developed independently as a self-funded hackathon submission for learning and demonstration purposes.
