Verification Policy

1. Digital Record Authenticity and Verification Integrity

SecureCert provides a digital infrastructure designed to enhance the authenticity and traceability of academic certificates and credentials.

Where certificate records are uploaded and verified through the Platform, SecureCert may use digital verification technologies, including cryptographic signatures, unique identifiers, and secure verification references to ensure record integrity.

Verification results generated by the Platform confirm that:

• The certificate record exists within the SecureCert verification system.
• The record was issued or uploaded by an authorized institution or authorized user.
• The record has not been altered within the SecureCert verification system..

However, users acknowledge that SecureCert functions as a verification and authentication platform, and not as the issuing authority of academic qualifications.

Accordingly:

• SecureCert does not grant academic degrees or qualifications.
• SecureCert does not evaluate academic performance or educational merit.
• SecureCert confirms only the authenticity of records stored within the system.

Verification responses provided by the Platform may include status indicators such as:

• Valid.
• Revoked/Suspended.
• Not Found.
• Verification Pending.
• Record Unavailable.

These responses represent the status of records within the SecureCert verification database at the time of the request.

2. Verification Integrity

The Platform may utilize cryptographic verification technologies and other integrity mechanisms to ensure that certificate records remain tamper resistant.

However, users acknowledge that:

• The Platform verifies the existence and authenticity of certificate records stored within the system.
• The Platform does not evaluate the academic merit or academic performance associated with any certificate.

Verification results depend on the accuracy of the institutional data provided.
