NIT-Delhi uses Authenticate's solution to prevent forgery of its documents

Singapore-based Authenticate said that National Institute of Technology, Delhi (NIT) has implemented its solution to make their student's educational documents unforgeable. All certificates and mark sheets issued by the institute will now carry a secure code which prevents their forgery. Moreover, these documents can be validated by any person using a common smartphone.

Authenticate's solution works by encrypting the important data of a document into a secured two-dimensional barcode which then becomes a part of the document. This barcode contains the original data encrypted using complex algorithms, making the document unforgeable.

Anyone with a common smartphone can scan this code using Authenticate's free application (on the website of NIT Delhi) to validate the original data which the app decrypts from the barcode.

What makes this solution practical is also the fact that this mobile application works even in the offline mode without an internet connection. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.

"There are millions of people with fake degrees and diplomas in every country, including India. Authenticate protects the reputation and name of educational institutions by making their documents unforgeable and empowers a common man to validate the authenticity of those documents. We are happy that NIT understands the importance of the solution and is setting an example for other educational institutions," Sunil Rai, Director of Sales, Authenticate India said.
