AstralGuard Cyber Academy maintains the highest standards of academic integrity. Every certificate is cryptographically signed with HMAC-SHA256 — making forgery mathematically impossible. Verify any certificate in seconds, for free.
In cybersecurity, your credentials are your reputation. Certificate fraud is real — and employers deserve the truth. We built this system so that every AstralGuard certificate you see is exactly what it claims to be.
Fake certificates circulate across job boards and LinkedIn every day. Bad actors forge credentials to bypass hiring screens, putting employers and organizations at risk. We refuse to be part of that problem.
Every certificate carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature generated with a secret key that never leaves our servers. Without that key, a forged certificate cannot pass verification — mathematically impossible.
Students, employers, universities, and institutions can all verify any AstralGuard certificate for free. No emails, no waiting, no guesswork — instant cryptographic proof, available 24/7.
Verification takes under 30 seconds. No technical knowledge required. Here's exactly how it works.
To use the verification system, you need a free AstralGuard account. This keeps our system secure and prevents automated abuse. If you don't have one yet, registration takes under a minute.
Already have an account? Simply sign in and you're ready to verify.
Sign in or Create AccountEvery AstralGuard certificate has a QR code printed on it. Use your phone camera or any QR scanner app to scan it. This generates a unique verification URL that contains both the Certificate ID and a cryptographic HMAC signature.
Alternatively, if you have the verification URL (e.g. from a digital copy), you can paste it directly into your browser.

Once you open the verification URL while logged in, the system immediately verifies the certificate automatically — no button to click. Our backend checks the HMAC signature against the certificate record in our database.
If you are not logged in when you open the link, you will be redirected to sign in. After signing in, the verification URL is preserved and the certificate is verified automatically.
A verified certificate will display the following information pulled directly from our secure database:
A successfully verified certificate displays a clear green confirmation with all credential details. Every field is pulled live from our database — not from the certificate itself — making spoofing impossible.
Certificate holder name matches the record in our database
Issue and expiry dates confirm the certificate is currently active
Hash on screen must match the hash printed on the physical cert
Authentic and currently active.
Verification is free and open to anyone with an interest in confirming a certificate's authenticity.
Hiring for a cybersecurity role? Verify a candidate's AstralGuard certification before making your decision. Confirm name, dates, and cryptographic integrity in seconds.
Want to confirm your own certificate is valid and stored correctly in our system? Run a verification anytime. Your credentials should be something you can independently confirm.
Universities, government agencies, and partner organizations can verify credentials for admission, partnerships, or compliance purposes — no special access required.
Don't ignore it. Whether a certificate fails verification unexpectedly or you suspect fraud, we want to know immediately.
If a certificate you received fails verification and you believe someone may have attempted to forge an AstralGuard credential, this is a serious matter. Please report it to us immediately so we can investigate and take action.
