An academic certification verification system based on cloud computing environment
Abstract
Cloud computing is new technology that involves moving of software, services and data storage
from computer desktop to remote servers, allowing user to access these resources from anywhere
on demand. There are different cloud computing models which includes IaaS,PaaS and SaaS.The
cloud There are several things which researchers can do with cloud computing. They can set up
cloud computing environment and share resources. They can also identify what can be demand
in terms of software, data storage and Platform. The researcher can construct and build these
services that will be available on the cloud. Several cloud computing models will be discussed.
In this study we have developed a prototype which is used as SaaS to provide certificate
verification. Verification is the process of establishing the truth, accuracy, or validity of
something such as the verification of official documents. In this study the document in reference
is the academic certificate.
In this prototype the user can request the certificates verification through online. The cloud
computing environment is used to contain the data in a virtual machine. This prototype enables a
convenient demand, on-demand access for shared pool of configurable computing resources that
can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.
We developed a prototype which allows users to make request to get the academic certificates
verification by filling the name of institution, course name, year of graduation and the
verification code. All this process will be carried out in private cloud and can be accessible for
all web based prototype.
The fifth generation cloud computing is prepared due to high demand of services in the current
high rate of changes in Technology and it can be available in 24/7 days throughout the year.
Finally the prototype was hosted in the cloud environment with the domain called vericert.co.ke
