MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641123044 A) filed by Aditya University on October 14, 2026, for Blockchain Based Secure System And Method For Academic Certificate Verification And Tamper- Proof Credential Management.
Inventors include Dr. Chintureena Thingom; and Dr. Thangjam Ravichandra.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a blockchain-based secure system and method for academic certificate verification and credential management. The system comprises an institutional authentication module, a credential generation module, a cryptographic processing module, a blockchain interface, secure off-chain storage, a verification processing module, an access control module, and an audit module. The system generates a unique credential identifier, computes a cryptographic hash, and digitally signs academic credentials issued by authenticated educational institutions. Credential references and integrity information are registered on a distributed ledger, while sensitive academic information may be maintained in encrypted off-chain storage. Upon receiving a verification request, the system retrieves the corresponding ledger record, validates the digital signature, compares the credential integrity hash, and checks the current credential status. The system communicates a verification outcome and maintains auditable records of credential-related operations, thereby supporting secure, traceable, and privacy-conscious academic certificate verification.
