Generation and Authentication of Digital Certificates using Ethereum based Decentralized Mechanism for Mitigating Data Fraud on RISC-V

Traditional paper certificates have difficulties in preservation and management, causes tampering and forgery. A secure decentralized-based platform could mitigate the risk with-out any third-party intervention using Ethereum in the core. This work proposed a novel architecture to generate digital certificates using a distributed ledger automatically. Further, it authenticates the same using private keys with trusted certificate authorities. The framework is tested on FU540 (RISC-V) architecture. A detailed mechanism for generating and authenticating certificates is validated on FU540 board with blockchain integration. Mechanism flow starts with the admin. It adds the source organization blocks having the user detail records to the distributed ledger. Verifiers put the request to the source authorizer to perform verifications. This protocol could protect private information and identify the inter mediators who tried to diversify
