Title
Digital Evidence Integrity and Chain-of-Custody Management
Goal
Description
Develop a secure platform to store and manage digital forensic evidence, including images, videos, documents, and log files. Each evidence item should receive a cryptographic fingerprint upon registration, and every attempt to access, transfer, or modify it is recorded in a protected chain-of-custody history. The application should detect tampering with either the evidence or its custody records.
