We combat the problem of fraudulent paper and PDF credentials that hinder verification, impacting employment and hiring. Traditional credentials are vulnerable to manipulation and forgery, undermining individuals' confidence in showcasing their qualifications and employers' ability to authenticate candidates' credentials. According to Eaton & Carmichael's 2022 research, this fraud is estimated to be at least $21 billion USD.

We are still using paper & PDF for verification purpose in the era of photoshop. Paper & PDF credentials are easy to fake, hard to verify, and easily lost or destroyed.

When PDF file first came out in 1993, it was the source of truth as not many people had the access or the knowledge to use photoshop. But today anyone can photoshop straight from their phone without special training.

The issue of fake credentials not only undermines the credibility of the individuals who hold them, but also undermines the overall trust and value of education. This has significant economic and social consequences, as employers and society as a whole rely on credentials to determine the knowledge and skills of individuals. The current system of paper and PDF credentials is therefore no longer adequate and a more secure and trustworthy solution is needed.
