Abstract

Evidence management is crucial in the field of forensic science. Evidence obtained from a crime scene is important in solving the case and delivering justice to the victim involved. Hence, protecting the integrity of the evidence throughout the process is of prime importance. Chain of Custody (CoC) is the process which maintains the integrity of the evidence using Blockchain Technology. Inability to maintain the chain of custody will make the evidence inadmissible in court, eventually leading to the case dismissal. Digitalization of forensic evidence management system is a need of time as it is an environment friendly model. Blockchain are digitally distributed ledgers of transactions signed cryptographically in chronological order that are sorted into blocks and is completely open to anyone in the blockchain network. Present study aims to create a framework and further propose an algorithm to implement blockchain technology to digitalize forensic evidence management system and maintain Chain of Custody
