Using Handle system to provide persistent identifiers for diploma

One of the essential factors for recruiters in a selection process is study background. It is, therefore, crucial to verify the authenticity of diplomas. Currently, it's easy to make a fake diploma with some software. Some websites can also generate one in a few minutes. You just need to give your information and pay some money. Between lies on the resume, fake documents, buying diplomas, producing real fake certificates, recruiters have a hard time dealing with candidates who come forward. This paper proposes to combine the handle system with blockchain technology to avoid this scourge. The handle system will provide to each diploma delivered by an institution a persistent identifier and will use blockchain technology to store and secure the data. The system will give all graduated students a unique identifier to check quickly and indefinitely their diplomas and grades.
