Service: Verification of the authenticity of university degrees

Responsible organisation: The University of St. Gallen (Academic-Research)

The University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) introduced a blockchain-based Proof of Concept project to verify the authenticity of its degrees in a matter of seconds rather than several days. The University of St. Gallen has chosen to partner with Swiss blockchain startup BlockFactory and used its certification solution to create immutable diplomas that are registered on the Ethereum blockchain.
