ABSTRACT
Fraud in certificate issuance of academic documents such as degree certificates are seen frequently. This scenario has been ongoing because conducting fraud certificate is extremely easy and inexpensive. It has become a worldwide problem and in addition the process of certificate validation is complicated. This type of fraud not only jeopardizes the reputation of an institute but companies that offer a job also cannot easily trust the issuer and the graduates anymore. With many people graduating and certificates becoming more important, anti- certificate counterfeit is an essential solution to protect the authenticity and an institute's reputation. We propose a mobile app solution supported by secure web services for any high institution and organization in securing issued certificates. The system will query student's detail from the institute's database and securely encrypt and save on a separate server while also embedding it into a QR code printed on a certificate. This QR code will be used by a mobile app for validation purposes.
