LearningChain is an online platform for educational institutions to issue tamper proof and instantly verifiable digital certificates based on Blockchain Technology.
A BlockChain is a digital ledger of transactions maintained by a network of computers in a way that makes it difficult to hack or alter.
The growing list of records, called blocks, is linked together using cryptography. Each transaction is independently verified by peer-to-peer computer networks, time-stamped and added to a growing chain of data. Once recorded, the data cannot be altered.
While issuing certificates, sharing academic reports and in verification process there may be high chances of fraudulent activities, creating fake certificates, delays in certificate verification process resulting in damage to institute brand, student future and loss of time.
LC helps institutions to issue BlockChain based digital certificates which are immutable and cannot be forged, also it can be instantly verifiable worldwide eradicating fake certificate system.
How does Blockchain make my documents tamper proof?
As the data is not stored in single server, it’s highly impossible to get consent from all nodes in BlockChain to tamper with data.
When user scans the QR code, it should allow the user to access information instantly – hence why it’s called a Quick Response code. QR code technology has no type of security flaws, and one cannot hack it.
Security concerns are with the stored data on QR code when a user scans it.
In a Normal QR Code, the security risks that people often associate with, do not origin from QR code technology instead from the final destination (URL Page, information stored, records) of each code, third parties might hack the web page, link up malicious software, or steal data, there remains a risk that the data in the QR codes can get manipulated.
Whereas In Blockchain based QR Code at the time of generation of the QR code, the system puts a unique hash value into the QR code, when the user scans the QR code to access the information or data, the system first cross-checks the hash value in the QR code. It compares the hash value of the QR code to the hash value of the BlockChain. If it matches, only then can the user access it. It makes the entire system incorruptible, immutable. The fact is once there is a hash value in the QR codes, nobody can even touch it.
Single & Bulk Upload of Certificates
Every institution have their own structure of functionality, In the process of generating Blockchain powered QR codes for each certificate user has to upload the certificates in PDF format, it may be a single certificate or multiple certificates, making it more user friendly system have both options to upload the certificates either in single certificate or in bulk.
Student basic academic information has to be up filled up in both the processes which will be used later to cross verify with the details uploaded by the verifier.
Bulk upload of certificates will definitely save precious time of the staff engaged in the process keeping itself adhere to BlockChain principles.

Instant Verification by QR Code
LearningChain QR codes shared with future employers, higher education authorities, government agencies etc. by students can easily be scanned using QR code scanner apps or with inbuilt scanner mobiles, verifiers can instantly see the contents of the certificate stamped on Blockchain, important details like certificate issue date, time, issuer details, hash value, transaction id, student details etc. can be verified and validated.
Certificate Verification Summary
Many verification agencies carrying out verification process will be routed thru a process to know the authenticity of the certificate, educational institutions can also define their verification charges to collect from each verifier to get it credited directly to their bank account.
For verifiers LearningChain platform will give detailed summary of certificate content, cross check it with the details provided by the student and finally know the result weather the certificate is VALID or REFUTED.
Apart from the above from accounts point of view also it’s always important for an institution to maintain and keep records of all the verifiers, analyze their required skills and course pattern to take further decisions.
Certificate Manager
LearningChain provides a dashboard screen with the summary report, top management will be able to know the exact number of certificates pushed to BlockChain network under free and paid category, all time and current year generations. Total number of verifications under paid and free category can also be tracked on the same dashboard with all time and current year numbers.
Digital wallet for Students
Exclusive mobile app for the students to carry their digital certificates for lifelong, for interviews, for verifications they can easily share it with verifiers to get it scanned and validate their authenticity. Timely updates and adding all their achievements is easy for students. These apps follow privacy rules and have multiple layer security for students’ data. Students will be able to share digital credentials on social media using these mobile apps.
