Abstract: Blockchain-Powered Skill Passport for Secure and Global Credential Verification This invention describes a blockchain-powered, self-sovereign credential verification system designed to provide secure, portable, and tamper-proof storage and authentication of academic and professional qualifications.

The NFC module allows one-tap authentication, ensuring seamless employer verification, while the UPI integration streamlines secure micro-payments for certificate issuance and validation. By integrating blockchain security, biometric authentication, and decentralized verification, the invention eliminates credential fraud, enhances trust in qualifications, and ensures efficient, privacy-compliant credential authentication for education, employment, and regulatory compliance.
