Leading Indian University Slashed boosted Trust while reducing Verification Costs by up-to 80%
Blockchain-Powered Digital Credentials
Reliance on Third-Party Providers
The university was using a third-party tech provider for digital certification, but it had to depend on these providers for certificate verification, leaving it vulnerable if the provider was no longer available.
Time-Consuming Government System Uploads
According to regulatory norms, the university had to upload physical copies of certificates to government systems. This process was not only tedious but also time-consuming, requiring substantial administrative effort.
Compliance Issues with NFT Standards
The existing vendor used NFT-based standards for issuing certificates. However, these standards were causing compliance issues, particularly with data protection laws and government regulations that did not fully support or recognize NFTs as a valid certification method.
Additionally, the university had specific requirements for improving the certification process:
Access Control
Students should never lose access to their degree certificates, even if the tech provider is no longer associated with the university
Self-Verifiability
The certificates should be self-verifiable to ensure that students do not face issues if the tech provider is no longer available to verify the credentials.
Government Uploads
The process for uploading certificate copies to government systems should be streamlined and easy to execute.
1. Blockchain-Based Digital Certificates
Using blockchain technology, the university created tamper-proof, self-verifiable digital certificates. This ensured that students could always access their certificates, even if the tech provider was no longer associated with the institution.
2. Self-Verifiability
By implementing Verifiable Credentials (VCs), the university ensured that students could verify their certificates independently, eliminating the need to rely on third-party providers for validation.
3. Compliance with Global Standards:
Hypersign Verifiable Credentials utilizes the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) standard, which is a globally accepted framework for privacy-preserving digital data sharing. This ensured full compliance with data protection regulations, eliminating the compliance issues previously caused by NFT standards and ensuring the certificates were recognized universally.
4. Simplified Government Uploads:
The platform enabled easy uploading of certificates to government systems, streamlining the verification process and saving time for both the university and students.
Conclusion
By adopting Hypermine’s Verifiable Credential Infrastructure and blockchain technology, the customer successfully transformed its credential verification process. This implementation not only reduced operational costs by 50% and improved the speed of verification by 60%, but also increased the global trust and recognition of the university’s credentials. The use of digital, tamper-proof credentials has streamlined the university's processes, improved student satisfaction, and enhanced its reputation in the global education ecosystem.
This case study highlights how Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and blockchain can revolutionize the higher education sector, providing significant cost savings, efficiency gains, and global credibility in a digital-first world.
