Abstract
The proliferation of fraudulent certificates has created significant challenges for educational institutions, employers, event organizers. Certificates issued without a verification mechanism are highly susceptible to duplication and potential misuse. Traditional certificates with manual verification mechanism are error prone, while existing digital platforms are often costly. This paper presents a QR-Based Certificate Creation, Storage, and Verification System that automates the process of certificate generation, embedding unique QR codes which are linked to a backend verification portal. The system supports bulk certificate creation, JSON based metadata storage, and secure validation. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the system is capable of generating and verifying hundreds of certificates rapidly and accurately, while exhibiting strong resilience against duplication and tampering.
