Security Enhancement of Forensic Evidences Using Blockchain

Abstract

Abstract: The traditional methods of handling forensic evidence are susceptible to manipulation and tampering, raising concerns about their integrity andadmissibility in court. This project explores the potential of blockchain technology to enhance the security of forensic evidence. Blockchain, a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger system, offers several key advantages for forensic evidence management: Immutability: Once data is recorded on the blockchain, it becomes virtually impossible to alter or delete, ensuring the authenticity and integrityof the evidence. Transparency: Every transaction involving the evidence, from collection to analysis, is securely recorded on the blockchain, promoting transparency and accountability throughout the chain of custody. Traceability: The complete history of the evidence can be easily traced on the blockchain, allowing for verification of its origin and handling at every stage. This project proposes a system that utilizes blockchain technology to manage and secure forensic evidence. The system offers a secure andtransparent platform for handling evidence, potentially improving the reliability and effectiveness of the legal process.
