“…A graduation certificate is still in the form of a paper-based document because, as of yet, an electronic document cannot effectively replace a physical certificate [13]. With the rise of graduates and advancements in printing and photocopying technologies, came the rise of fake certificates as well threatening the integrity of both the certificate holder and the university that has issued the certificate [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This means that document validation and verification has become an important task The graduation certificate has to be verified to ensure that its content is true and also to ensure that the issued certificate comes from a real source [2].…”

Graduation certificates issued by universities and other educational institutions are one of the most important documents for a graduate. It is a proof of graduate's qualifications and can be used to advance forward in one's career and life. However, due to advances in software, printing and photocopying technologies, forgery of those certificates is made easy and as good as the original, making them difficult to detect. Several universities and educational institutions as well as businesses started to dedicate resources for verifying certificates however that is usually a tedious and quite costly process and there isn't a clear model that can be adopted by those institutions that could minimize cost and speed up the process. There are many techniques proposed for paper based document verification and this paper analyzes and expatiate the issues on those techniques. Most of the verification techniques require change in the process of certificate generation either by changing template, changing paper, changing printers, adding hardware or even adding extra information. This change may mean that the university or verifier needs the proper knowledge to execute and run the proposed technique. This also means that older certificates may not work with the newly introduced techniques. To also add some proposed techniques require a change that is not always easy or cheap like in creating a third body to verify certificates.

Abstract-we all receive paper based certificates during our study journey, but they are hard to manage to avoid damage or loss.The field of e-Learning provides technological developments, such as e-portfolios, which enable greater power and flexibility in displaying achievements. These may include on-line versions of certificates of the applicant's attainment which overcome the limitations of paper-based versions. However, these "e-certificates" present a number of practical challenges, which so far have not been addressed, such as the validation of claimed e-qualification certificates. This paper addresses the issues, and explores the gap between current eportfolio tools and the desired e-qualification certificate system. Through analysis of the existing systems and ecertificate use cases, we have identified existing services that can be reused and the services that require further development, thereby presenting an approach which solves the above problems.Preliminary results indicate that the recommendation from this research meets the design requirements, and could form the foundation of future ecertificate implementations.
