Introduction:
In a recent letter from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan, an important initiative regarding the printing of QR codes and security keys on educational documents was announced. This step aims to enhance document security, eliminate misuse, and ensure the authenticity of educational credentials. In response to this directive, we developed Crypto-Model which can effectively fulfill the requirements outlined by the HEC.
Document Security Enhancement:
The HEC's decision to introduce QR codes and security keys on educational documents represents a significant advancement in document security. By leveraging QR codes, educational institutions can ensure the integrity and authenticity of their documents. The QR codes generated by SureQR contain both a message and a digital signature, which are verified using a public key, ensuring the document's legitimacy.
Understanding SureQR and its Benefits:
SureQR is a product that produces QR codes for educational documents such as degrees, transcripts, and certificates. These QR codes incorporate both the document's content and a digital signature, which is verified using a public key. This combination of message and digital signature ensures the document's integrity and authenticity.
Advantages of SureQR for HEC Compliance:
-
Enhanced Security: SureQR utilizes encryption techniques to protect the document's content and digital signature. This safeguards against unauthorized access and maintains document integrity.
-
Authenticity Verification: By incorporating digital signatures and printing the corresponding public key within the QR code, SureQR enables direct verification of document particulars from the university's website. This feature ensures that the information provided within the QR code is legitimate and originated from the official source.
-
Compliance with HEC's Directive: SureQR aligns perfectly with the HEC's requirement for educational documents to carry QR codes and security keys. By incorporating message and digital signature within the QR code, SureQR enables universities to meet the HEC's order, ensuring their documents are recognized and accepted by the commission.
Conclusion:
The introduction of QR codes and security keys on educational documents, as mandated by the HEC Pakistan, signifies a significant step towards enhancing document security and eliminating misuse. Our product SureQR offers a comprehensive solution by generating QR codes that contain both a message and a digital signature, providing a robust method to ensure document integrity and authenticity.
