Sistema de almacenamiento distribuido de documentos basado en Blockchain

Abstract

This project proposes the development of a system designed for the registration and verification of academic certificates using blockchain and IPFS technologies. Unlike traditional software that issues diplomas, this solution assumes that certificates are already generated by the university and focuses on recording a unique identifier—a hash—on the blockchain, which allows their authenticity to be verified at any time. The aim is to streamline validation processes, strengthen protection against forgery, and provide graduates with a reliable tool to prove the legitimacy of their academic achievements. The system combines an application layer capable of generating and managing these records, a blockchain network that guarantees the immutability of the information, and an integration layer through an API that connects to the user interface. This setup enables real-time verification whenever a certificate is presented, ensuring that it matches the document registered on the chain. By implementing this approach, the project seeks to modernize academic document management, reinforce trust in university-issued certificates, and position the institution as a leader in the adoption of innovative technologies within higher education.
