MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095379 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Blockchain-Based System And Method For Academic Credential Verification.
Inventors include Irfan Ahmad Pindoo; and Pawandeep Kaur.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: A blockchain-based system for academic credential verification is provided as a decentralized and immutable ledger for securely managing digital certificates. The system comprises a blockchain network with multiple nodes, each maintaining a copy of the ledger, ensuring that once a certificate is added, it cannot be altered or deleted. Digital certificates are represented as unique, encrypted digital assets on the blockchain, containing metadata such as student's name, institution, course details, and issuance date. Smart contracts are deployed on the blockchain network to automate the processes of certificate issuance and verification, triggered by specific events like course completion or verification requests. A user-friendly interface accessible via web or mobile applications allows students, universities, and employers to interact with the blockchain system, facilitating certificate issuance, verification, and access. An access control mechanism, utilizing cryptographic keys and authentication protocols, manages permissions and access rights, ensuring that only authorized users issue or verify certificates.
