blockchain based verification system of students identity cards and academic documents for the university of malakand12862

Project TitleProject Area of Specialization BlockchainProject Summary

Blockchain is distributed ledger technology in which records of different transactions is stored on a continuously growing ledger. This ledger of transactions is kept on different peers of a network in a way that makes it tamper-proof. Data on the blockchain is highly secured by the use of cryptography and the network structure of blockchain makes it almost impossible to hack.Therefore we will take advantage of the decentralized nature of blockchain to develop an ID card and academic documents issuing and verification platform to address the issue of documents forgery. Since the record on the blockchain can be audited to its origin, any alteration of records can be detected and traced.

 

Project Objectives

This project aims to develop a blockchain application for the verification of ID cards and academic documents. Objectives To develop this application are

• Design a permission blockchain network for issuance and verification of academic degrees.

• Design and model a blockchain solution for issuance and verification of academic degrees.

• Develop and Deploy a smart contract that enables users to issue and verify academic degrees.

• Design and develop a web user interface for interaction with the blockchain network.

• Testing of network and application using docker containers.

• Deployment of application on the physical network.

Project Implementation Method

We will use Hyperledger Fabric for the development of this system as it provides multiple options for developing chain code. Hyperledger Fabric currently provides chaincode development support in NodeJS and Go. Hyperledger Fabric also provides Software Development Kit (SDK) for NodeJS and Java, for developing client applications. We choose to develop chaincode in Go and NodeJS SDK for the client applications, as these were our only choices at the starting time of this development.

First, it will be developed in a virtual environment and then later on it will be deployed on physical nodes.

 

Benefits of the Project

The blockchain application for the verification of ID  cards and Academic documents will be a secure system for the verification of these documents since the blockchain technology cannot be hacked due to its strong consensus and cryptographic methods. The ultimate advantage of this system will be to stop the forgery of ID cards and academics documents.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

at the end of this project, a blockchain application developed in hyperledger fabric will be delivered.
