Why is the tampering of these documents so rampant?
The ability to trust these documents and the information contained in them is essential to establish a person’s credentials and to help in making the right selection. Educational document fraud is very rampant and is typically done to improve credentials and eligibility for opportunities which would otherwise be denied to the candidate.
Under normal circumstances, the process followed to verify the authenticity of these documents, is to log in or send an e-mail query to the issuing institution which then checks its database to confirm the information. This traditional method of validating and verifying documents is cumbersome and too slow. In the best of circumstances this requires money, time and effort. In the worst case scenario, the databases being low scrutiny databases are themselves subject to manipulation by unscrupulous elements and therefore return an answer that is taken as the truth but is actually incorrect. This has significant costs for the institutions relying on this information for their decision processes. Some examples of document fraud are given below-
How can Qrypto prevent tampering of educational documents?
Qrypto provides an elegant solution for easy validation of educational credentials and for preventing such document frauds.
- Finalize the critical/ non-tamperable information that needs to be printed on the certificate.
- Send the specific information to the Qrypto generator.
- The generator returns a digitally signed secure QR code containing the critical information that has to be verified.
- This QR code is placed on the document, which can be printed in physical-digital formats.
- Such QR coded documents can be scanned and the contents verified using the document validator app available on the App store or Google play store or through a web validation mechanism.
