Challenges

Traditional cloud storage lacks tamper-proof mechanisms for evidence.

Ensuring integrity of digital evidence during investigations was difficult.

Risk of unauthorized access and manipulation of stored forensic data.

Absence of a transparent system to track evidence handling.

Proposed integrating blockchain to enhance evidence security and immutability.

Designed a framework leveraging blockchain’s distributed ledger for traceability.

Suggested using smart contracts for automated evidence verification.

Ensured transparent logging of all actions on forensic data.

Developed a tamper-proof method for preserving digital forensic evidence.

Improved reliability and trust in forensic investigation processes.

Enhanced traceability and auditability of evidence handling.

Published research advocating blockchain’s role in forensic data security.
