ZkCertify

By zkCipher

Description

ZKCertify leverages ZK proofs to eliminate manual credential checks by revealing only the validity of a credential—never the underlying data. This approach enhances privacy, security, and operational efficiency.

The Problem It Solves

  • Manual Verification: No need to chase transcripts or certificates.
  • Privacy: Only a cryptographic proof is shared, keeping sensitive data hidden.
  • Authenticity: On-chain verification prevents tampering and forgery.
  • Recruitment Efficiency: Quickly confirms if candidates meet academic and test score thresholds.

How People Can Use It

  1. Educational Institutions
    • Issue digitally signed credentials and maintain private alumni records.
    • Enable graduates to prove achievements securely.
  2. Recruitment & HR
    • Automate candidate screening with verified scores and degrees.
    • Instantly verify if candidates meet specific thresholds.
  3. Professional Licensing
    • Allow professionals (e.g., doctors, lawyers) to prove compliance without exposing personal records.
  4. Online Courses & Skill Assessments
    • Offer tamper-proof digital badges for course completions.
    • Reveal only competency proofs, safeguarding personal details.

Business Idea:ZKCertify-as-a-Service (ZCaaS)
