Abstract

            In today’s digital era securing and managing and issuing digital credentials plays a crucial role in the education sector, but the old solutions are prone to data breaches, forgery, data alteration, manipulation and other centralized database weaknesses. In such scenarios Blockchain technology proved to be a life saver, Originally it was developed for Bitcoin but now it provides a various alternative including storing, issuing and managing Immutable credentials. Its decentralization mitigates the risk of attacks, threats while its immutability assures unaltered or unchanged credentials boosts the trust and integrity of them. This Research investigates the paradigm of immutable credentials on the blockchain,using cryptographic functions to securely link academic degrees , professional certificates to individual identities . Benefiting by providing improved security standards, eliminating single point failures, better accountability and transactions through verifiable and simplified validation procedures. This technique aligns with the self-sovereign identity movement, providing people not only to control over their credentials but also to provide selective access to their digital identities. By looking at the technological basis and real-world implementation , this study highlights the transformation of centralized databases to blockchain in Indian scenarios in the Indian Education sector.
