Worldwide, certificate fraud is a menace, and even illegal, but the fraudsters and scammers have become sophisticated and the certifying bodies find it hard to combat. Today with advancement in technologies like blockchain and QR code, the security and verification industry is undergoing a transformation. Still, there are adoption challenges due to the complex nature of the certification process and costs. Further, verifying the authenticity of a certificate is time consuming and yet unreliable.
We at RightCliq offer an easy to implement solution that enables issuing secure and verifiable certificates with the help of VeriDoc Global’s patented technology to solve the toughest problems in the certification industry.
Our client, Malaysian Taekwondo Federation (MTF) is a renowned taekwondo training academy, which is affiliated to the Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Sukan Malaysia (Malaysian Sports council). They have thousands of registered members across Malaysia and are expecting to issue around 20,000 certificates in a year.
The association head-quaters (HQ) used to pre-print the physical certificates without any student details in a central facility and distributed it to the State Chief Instructors. The instructors from various associations received these empty certificates from the respective state chiefs. During the exams, the instructors pass on the empty certificates to the examiners, which gets filled by them while testing the students. In this process, the number of certificates issued by the HQ were not tracked, therefore often it was duplicated by instructors/examiners, resulting in fake certificates issued to the students.
As the MTF is widespread with thousands of members across the country, they were concerned that the very reputation of the academy was at stake due to the manual processes. They were looking for a technology solution to:
The certificate issuing process was complex as most of the tasks were manually managed. Record keeping was a major problem for the association and they were unable to track the actual issuance of the certificates. There was no way for the association to know to whom the certificates were issued and if it was genuine. This resulted in a multitude of challenges given below.
The Chief Instructors/Instructors/Examiners come from all kinds of backgrounds and most of them are not tech savvy. They even struggle with basic computing skills, therefore the solution should be easily adoptable.
We proposed to implement a solution that is built on VeriDoc Global’s blockchain and QR code based patented technology. We used a combination of automated & semi-automated processes as part of the solution. The proposed solution has these components:

We at RightCliQ in partnership with VeriDoc Global, delivered the entire solution in two weeks. With RightCliQ’s decade long solutioning & integration expertise, we made use of VeriDoc Global’s batch manager module and a combination few basic free tools like google sheets and other image editing/label generation tools. The solution devised was practical, cost effective and easy to use by people from all backgrounds. To reduce the complexities in the entire process we did the following:
MTF can now issue tamper proof certificates as the certificates are stored in blockchain. This helps in overcoming the problem of fake and forged certificates.
Increased trust among various MTF stakeholders as each of the printed certificates can now be tracked and traced.
Multi-level verification increases the transparency of the activities captured during the certification process. This includes visual inspection and verifying the document details on blockchain.
