Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) empowers individuals to own and control their digital identities without relying on centralized authorities. Using blockchain for academic certificates ensures authenticity, transparency, and immutability of issued credentials. Universities can securely issue verifiable digital certificates recorded on a distributed ledger, while students store them in digital wallets and share verified proofs directly with employers or institutions. This decentralized approach eliminates certificate forgery, reduces administrative effort, and enhances trust in academic verification systems. By combining SSI principles with blockchain technology, academic institutions can build a secure, privacy-preserving, and globally verifiable credential management framework.
