Abstract
[Abstract] Academic certificate forgeries and the lack of resources to tackle them is a problem
that implies big costs to society. It harms the figure of the certificates and impairs the trust of
academic institutions. The solution proposed in this paper is aimed at recording and verifying
the academic merits through a decentralized application or Dapp. Such an application is
supported by a smart contract deployed in the Ethereum blockchain with a simple frontend or
interface. The application makes use of a decentralized storing system based on IPFS in order
to consume the data that are not managed by the blockchain. To assess the performance of the
developed system, the latency of its most common operation (read operations) is measured as
the number of requests per second increase. The obtained results show that the system is really
fast, being some nodes able to respond to more than 1,000 requests in less than one millisecond
