Session Overview
This session explores a scalable, institution-led model for real-time credential authentication that eliminates reliance on third-party vendors. Leveraging encrypted QR codes and a trustless verification architecture, the solution restores data sovereignty to registrars through its patented Certidox technology, which requires no third-party involvement and ensures full FERPA compliance.
TrustDiplomas verifies credential authenticity in less than a second, delivering instant, tamper-proof results. Institutions retain full control over credential issuance and revocation while enabling instant validation by employers and other external stakeholders. The platform also provides real-time alerts, automatically notifying employers and past verifiers whenever a credential’s status changes (revocation, suspension, or correction).
This patented approach brings significant benefits across the academic ecosystem:
-
For registrars and universities: sovereignty over data, reduced administrative workload, and enhanced credibility.
-
For employers: faster, more secure hiring decisions with no intermediaries and no plain-text data storage.
-
For graduates: the ability to showcase verified credentials via QR codes, strengthening employability.
-
For businesses: a flexible, Pay-As-You-Go model of verification.
Designed to reduce registrar workload and support academic mobility in the United States and worldwide, this model aligns with today’s expectations around transparency, data privacy, and alternative credentials.
Attendees will benefit from a live demonstration and a strategic discussion on implementation pathways, governance models, and collaborative opportunities across diverse institutional settings. They will leave with actionable takeaways to strengthen credential trust and to design both short-term pilots and longer-term institutional strategies.
