At a time when training organisations are increasingly challenged to find ways of ensuring the authenticity of the certificates they issue, a significant new technology called the blockchain might very well provide a permanent solution to this conundrum.
In response to recent media reports which claim that overseas organisations are providing false diplomas from Australian educational institutions for up to $6500 each, the Chief Commissioner (ASQA), last Friday, reminded RTO’s that they have a responsibility to have “mechanisms in place to reduce fraudulent reproduction of its certification.”
Back in April 2014, we posted a video that shows one bulletproof mechanism that all but eliminates potential fraud. It is really great to see that this 'solution' has now made it onto the list of fraud prevention steps provided by ASQA.
This video show you how a univerisal solution can be implemented by encrypting QR Codes and therefore restricting their use to an official smartphone app.
This would make it possible for anyone to verify a certificate within seconds, saving time and money. The solution is incredibly cheap to implement, and would work equally well on all certificates, whether they are printed on paper or exist digitally such as PDF's.
