520			_aABSTRACT 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
