Digital credentials on the blockchain

Digital credentials are a digital version of important paper documents, such an identity card, diploma, certificate, and so on. Rather than merely a digitized or scanned version of these physical documents, a digital credential is created ad hoc in a dematerialized format intended specifically for online use. Unlike a photocopy of a passport, which has less value than the passport itself, and may be refused by various institutions, a digital credential of a passport has exactly the same value as the physical passport, making it possible to reliably prove one’s identity.

Digital credentials are issued by authorized entities, whose authoritative status guarantees their authentic origin. Ministries, banking institutions and universities are all entities that may issue digital credentials.

Adopting the BCdiploma digital credentials solution means taking a quantum leap forward and benefiting from accelerated administrative processes relating to the issue, delivery and storage of important documents. Delivering, a digital diploma to a student, for example, can be done in a click, and the resulting digital credential cannot be lost or counterfeited. Requests for copies are no longer necessary, freeing up the administrative services of universities and saving valuable time for students.

A university that opts for digital credentials strengthens and maintains the bond it has with its graduates, and proves that it knows how to be innovative. Students can share their diplomas and micro-certifications with employers or other universities quickly and reliably. BCdiploma certificates can even be shared on social networks.

Finally, BCdiploma’s digital credentials are secure and authenticated using patented blockchain technology, which scrupulously adheres to data protection regulations.

A blockchain is a decentralized database for storing data or digital documents, while guaranteeing their inviolability and durability. The storage of digital credentials on a blockchain allows access to them anywhere and at any time, without any constraints.

The holders of digital diplomas recorded on the blockchain can share their digital credentials with any entity using a simple URL link. These entities, whether universities, companies, state institutions or other bodies, have the assurance that submitted digital credentials are completely authentic, since nothing stored on a blockchain can be altered. With the use of blockchain technology, trust is guaranteed ! As long as the issuer of the digital credentials is recognized as reliable, the veracity of the documents stored on the blockchain cannot be questioned, nor can the word of the holder of the credentials.
