KryptoSphere and BCdiploma, powered by EvidenZ, are pleased to announce their partnership. Together, they will help many classes of students to understand the challenges and opportunities of “blockchain digital credentials”, the latest generation certificates that reinvent the concept of “diploma” and focus on the skills acquired.

Starting this fall, you will be able to meet BCdiploma at KryptoSphere meetups in Marseille and Paris and learn about blockchain technologies for digital credentials issuing.

KryptoSphere is the first student association based on cryptography and blockchain. It also specializes in artificial intelligence and more recently in virtual reality. KryptoSphere students are committed to popularizing the concepts of these cutting-edge technologies. The association operates in 3 business schools: Institut Mines-Télécom, Kedge Marseille and Rennes School of Business, as well as 2 engineering schools: Centrale Marseille & Télécom Sud-Paris.

BCdiploma is a DApp (decentralized application) deployed in more than 90 locations worldwide. BCdiploma offers schools a turnkey service to create and share blockchain certificates: diplomas, transcripts, acquired skills, etc. BCdiploma is the first player to offer 100% blockchain certified Open Badges, for micro-certifications and modularized courses. Recently, BCdiploma is cross-chain thanks to EvidenZ: its main implementation is deployed on Ethereum, but BCdiploma is also available on ARKeducation, an ARK.io bridgechain. EvidenZ, always at the forefront of innovation, also uses IPFS to manage some of the visuals displayed on certificates. For the record, BCdiploma is the 4th successful French ICO (Jan. 2018).

Why are you interested in blockchain digital credentials?

Would you like to have lifetime online certificates of your diplomas and certifications, freely usable and instantly verifiable without any procedure? We are undoubtedly talking about digital credentials issued on a blockchain. The added value is immediate for the graduate, at all stages of their professional life, but also for the schools. No more untimely requests for verification, certificate updates or duplicates: it’s a long-term gain. More information on digital credentials here, on blockchain Open Badges here, and on micro-certification there.

What is the benefit of decentralized data storage?

Decentralized data storage guarantees a maximum level of security and durability. Written on a blockchain, these data cannot be modified or altered, which makes them unforgeable. The data is copied on each node of the blockchain: their long-term preservation is thus ensured, especially since it is enough to deploy a single node to keep a local copy. For more information about the EvidenZ technology used by BCdiploma and its ERC20 BCDT token, click here.

How does it work?

1. Using the DApp, accessible in the form of a web application, the school (issuer) issues the credentials from its blockchain address: the data is encrypted, stored on the blockchain, and the links of each certificate are created and delivered to their holders (learner).

2. The learner, owner of their link, decides to share it as they wish: directly on their LinkedIn profile, on their social networks, on their resume, in PDF, etc.

3. The person who receives this link (verifier) only has to… click ! They can view in real time the data written on the blockchain and all the associated proofs of authenticity.
