The problem Decentra-Law solves

The current certification process employed by the Bar Council of Kerala for eligible lawyers poses significant challenges and inefficiencies. The issuance of certificates of practice is carried out through a traditional, physical approach, resulting in a series of difficulties for legal practitioners. This antiquated method not only introduces delays and bureaucratic hurdles but also imposes geographic constraints, requiring lawyers to be physically present for the acquisition of their certificates. The physical nature of the process creates inconvenience for lawyers, particularly those situated in diverse locations across the region, exacerbating accessibility issues. The need for a more modern and efficient certification system becomes evident, calling for a transformation in the current practices to address these obstacles and streamline the certification process for eligible lawyers.

Challenges we ran into

In our blockchain project focused on issuing certificates of practice, a significant challenge emerged concerning the security of IPFS hash values used to provide digital certificates to applicants. The imperative to encrypt these hashes for confidentiality and integrity proved essential for our application. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and limited expertise as beginners in web3 development, we encountered difficulties in implementing a robust encryption solution. This is one of the challenge we experienced.
