  • Abstract

The importance of digital evidence has been accepted by the judiciary over the globe. The digital evidence plays a very crucial role in the judgment of the crime. The protection of integrity, authenticity, admissibility of such evidence should always be given highest priority. A log of digital evidence handling, which can be verified for any tampering, but does not allow any of the stakeholders to erase such traces of tampering is the need of today. This can guarantee a full proof maintenance of chain of custody for the digital evidence. Blockchain technology and using its core feature can make the process of a chain of custody (CoC) more efficient and reliable. This work proposes a hybrid blockchain solution for maintaining CoC (Chain of Custody), making the evidence and the transaction of the evidence transparent. The proposed system is designed to underline the advantages and allow the stakeholders of the system to view the evidence transaction during the complete legal process, but does not allow any sort of tampering of the same.
