Evidence Management System Using Blockchain

Abstract

The Study Suggests A Decentralised Evidence Management System That Uses Distributed Storage And Blockchain Technology To Protect, Authenticate, And Expedite The Lifetime Of Digital Forensic Evidence. This Solution Fixes Flaws That Can Jeopardise Court Proceedings, Such As Tampering, Illegal Access, And Ineffective Evidence Tracking. It Combines The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) For Off-chain Storage And Employs A Two-tier Blockchain Topology That Divides Static Data From Dynamic Data. By Automating Access Control, Smart Contracts Strengthen Auditability And The Chain Of Custody. The Design Is Tamper-proof And Fault-tolerant, And It Has Secure Interfaces For Judicial And Law Enforcement Stakeholders. The Method Is A Transparent, Safe, And Effective Way To Address Contemporary Digital Forensic Issues Since It Increases Trust, Accountability, And Transparency In The Processing Of Digital Evidence.
