| Abstract | Mumbai-based Blockchain strategy and development startup Zeon lab has launched a blockchain-backed academic certification management service (CMS) called Verified on Chain(VOC). The service enables verification of student certificates or transcripts on Blockchain and is targeted at universities, institutes of higher education and e-learning companies. It will be available as a SaaS product to academic institutes through different pricing plans based on the size of the batch. Novelty: Use of Inter planetary file system:- -> The blockchain takes more time at storing files or large amounts of data in a block. -> This is why IPFS is so powerful when coupled with the blockchain. -> Instead of BPM above, we simply store the hash of the IPFS file! We keep the simplicity of data that’s required on the blockchain but we get to enjoy the file storage and decentralized peer-to-peer properties of IPFS! -> IPFS simply stores the hashes to files on the blockchain. These hashes can then be used to find the actual location of the file. |
