The risk of unverified digital certificates
A PDF can be copied, edited, or shared.
Without validation, its value is limited.
That’s why QR codes are increasingly used in digital certificates.
How QR-based certificate downloads work
- The recipient receives the certificate by email
- The PDF can be downloaded anytime
- The QR code links to online verification
- No login or password required
