Abstract: Now-a-days, the vast majority of birth certificate registration systems are paper-based and managed independently by administrative communities. This means that birth information only exists at the place where the birth is registered, which facilitates the counterfeiting or falsification of such identity documents. Therefore, the implementation of a system for the issuance, traceability, and authentication of birth certificates is imperative. Blockchain, characterized by transparency, immutability, protection, privacy, and autonomy, makes this technology the ideal solution for implementing a birth certificate registration, traceability, and authentication system. This article presents a decentralized system for the registration, traceability, and authentication of birth certificates based on Hyperledger Fabric private blockchain deployed in a Virtual Private Network - Multi-Protocol Label Switching (VPN-MPLS) network. This birth certificate is characterized on one hand by the attributes of its owner and on the other hand by a Quick Response (QR) code containing the digital signature of its signer and the unique identifier of the birth certificate. Within the network, the unique identifier of the generated document is hashed and stored using the Secure Hash Algorithm-256 (SHA-256) hash function to optimize storage space and enhance security. Furthermore, the proposed platform includes an application designed using Docker Compose, Apache CouchDB, NodeJS, Go, and Hyperledger Explorer. The designed model is a birth certificate registration platform that ensures enhanced security and transparency.

Keywords: Birth certificates; blockchain; security; traceability; authentication; counterfeiting; falsification; hyperledger fabric
