Now a day document such as Degree certificate can be easily forged fully or partially modifying obtained score result like GPA (Grade Point Average). Digital signature are used to detect unauthorized modification to data and to authenticate the identity of signatory. The Quick Response (QR) code was designed for storage information and high-speed readability. This paper proposed a method that QR code will contain a digital signature with the student data such as degree holder's name, major program, GPA obtained and more, which will be signed by Higher Educational Institute (HEI). In order to use this system, all HEI have to register in central system, the central system provide another system that will deploy in each HEI. All digitally signed certificate generating process are offline. To verify the digital signature signed with QR code, we developed specific smart phone application which will scan and authenticate the certificate without the need to address the certificate issuing institution and gaining access to user's security credentials.
