Why Diploma and Transcript Verification Fails Today
Fake diplomas and edited transcripts circulate easily, and verification often relies on a website that can be cloned. As soon as verification depends on a lookalike page, spoofing becomes a realistic risk.
Certidox is designed to keep verification reliable by binding the check to the credential itself—printed or digital—and by returning a current status result (active/suspended/revoked).
Key point: if verification relies on a website alone, the website can be imitated.
Certidox is designed to preserve trust even when attackers copy visuals and URLs.
How Certidox Verifies Diplomas and Transcripts
1) Embed a secure QR code in each credential
Each diploma or transcript can include a secure QR code that supports fast verification while protecting confidentiality.
2) Verify via official verifier app or your systems
- Mobile verification: scan using the free Certidox verifier app (App Store and Google Play).
- Automated verification: integrate verification into your workflow using the Certidox library.
3) Real-time status and revocation
Credentials can be suspended or revoked at any time. Status updates are immediate, and optional real-time alerts can notify anyone who previously verified the credential.
FERPA, GDPR, and PIPEDA Aligned
Certidox is designed to be FERPA, GDPR, and PIPEDA aligned and to preserve the confidentiality of education records. No personal data is stored in plain text, and decryption keys are not kept on Certidox servers.
