Data security is one of the main features of distributed ledger technology (DLT). Each 
node may store and verify the same data thanks to the technology. Web-based 
certificate verification outperforms traditional certificate verification in that it boosts 
data security thanks to the platform's encryption. Certificate verification systems are 
tiny or medium-sized systems that may be used by school administration to manage 
student certificates. However, it is costly and time-consuming to check certificates 
using traditional methods. In this project, a digital method is introduced. It reduces the 
strain and difficulty of the verification process, and certificate counterfeiting is 
significantly decreased. This project introduces IOTA Smart Contracts, a distributed 
ledger technology (DLT), and a multi-blockchain smart contract framework with the 
ability to transact cross-chain in a trustful and scalable manner on the IOTA UTXO 
ledger on layer 1. The main goal is to lessen manual verification techniques' 
inconvenience and eradicate certificate forgers. I would recommend conducting 
additional research into IOTA's Tangle based on my project-related experience
