How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies requires the creation of secure and efficient methods for storing and managing confidential personal data. Modern personal documents such as birth certificates, identity cards, and passports are often vulnerable to fraud, forgery, and unauthorized access. This article proposes an innovative system that integrates color QR codes and blockchain technology for the secure storage and management of biometric and documentary information. The proposed approach combines steganography, cryptography, and modern data embedding techniques to enhance document security. The combination of encrypted QR codes with a decentralized blockchain-based database ensures confidentiality, reliable authentication, data transparency and traceability. This solution is especially relevant for storing official documents, such as birth certificates, with the inclusion of biometric data of citizens and their family members for improved identification, as well as enabling effective data extraction and prevention of misuse.
