everything was deleted because its really old code and hard to maintain, i felt like writing from scratch would be better.
In today's digital age, certificates and credentials are essential for verifying an individual's skills, qualifications, and achievements. However, traditional certificate management systems are often centralized, vulnerable to tampering, and lack transparency. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, secure, and transparent solution for certificate management. By leveraging blockchain, we can create an immutable and tamper-proof record of certificates, ensuring their authenticity and integrity.
Our implementation will focus on building a decentralized certificate platform using a blockchain-based architecture. We will utilize a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, where nodes will verify and validate transactions, ensuring the integrity of the certificate data. We will also implement a robust authentication system, utilizing elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and other cryptographic primitives to ensure secure communication between nodes.
Our project roadmap is divided into several phases:
- Implement the blockchain core, including block and transaction structures
- Develop a P2P network for node communication and transaction validation
- Implement a robust authentication system using ECC and other cryptographic primitives
- Design and implement a certificate data model and storage system
- Develop a user interface for certificate issuance, revocation, and verification
- Integrate certificate management with the blockchain core
- Conduct thorough testing of the platform, including security audits and performance testing
- Deploy the platform on a testnet and eventually on a mainnet
