FIR Security System Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Abstract: FIR (First Information Report) datamanagement is a critical task for law enforcement agencies to maintain law and order. Traditional FIR data management system often plagued by issues of data tampering, unauthorized access, and lack of transparency. In order to overcome this blockchain technology has been implemented which offers a decentralized, secure, and transparent solution to these problems. Storing FIR data on the blockchain can provide several advantages, including increased security, transparency, and immutability. Blockchain technology is a decentralized system that is resistant to modification, making it ideal for storing sensitive data such as FIR data. This system proposes a blockchain-based FIR data management system that utilizes smart contracts to automate the process of registering and accessing FIR data. The immutability of blockchain records can increase the reliability and trustworthiness of FIR data, while the decentralization of the blockchain ensures that there is no single point of failure. The user interface provides a graphical user interface for authorized users to interact with the system, Crime Investigators can view the data from database using their authentication credentials. Thereports, which are prepared by witnesses and police officers, are accessible to the investigator (admin).Investigators have the authority to edit data (i.e., update,remove, and so on), and this data aids investigators in speeding up their investigations and identifying offendersmore quickly. The evidences are secured using Block chain technology with SHA algorithm to create the hash values for each record. Secure cryptography functions to encrypt FIR information before storing on server has beenimplemented. The blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize FIR data storage and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies.
