blockchain-certificates
=======================

This project allows an institution to issue digital certificates. It
creates pdf certificate files and issues a hash representing those files
into the Bitcoin network's blockchain. It can do so in two ways; one
using an index file to aggregate the certificates' hashes and the other
that does not require an index file. The former is the method used in
the past and we do **recommend using the new method** as it supersedes
the old ones. The only advantage of the old process over the new is that
it is easier to verify manually.
