Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating persistent transaction records (PTR), each containing fields/parameters determined by a template that gets stored on a centralized blockchain to identify a certified transaction associated with a particular Certified Body and Certified Subject pair, the persistent transaction records being unilaterally issued by the Certified Body. In an illustrative example, the Certified Body may be authenticated by a trusted Certifying Transaction Authority System (CTAS) configured to authenticate parametric data from one or more Certified Bodies and cause the authenticated parameters to be stored on the blockchain in association with the Certified Subject as a PTR. The PTR may be accessible in the decentralized blockchain by, for example, the Certified Body, the Certified Subject, and an authorized 3rd Party. The CTAS may advantageously provide an automated infrastructure for unilateral issuance of trustworthy and immutable records of diverse information (e.g., credentials, experience, rights) relating to Certified Subjects.
