Enhancing Integrity in Criminal Investigations with Secure Evidence Attachment

Evident Guard is the best way to add credibility to the evidence in the court. It includes the First Information Report (FIR) system, SHA-1 algorithm, and secure attachment of evidence. This system revolutionizes the current mode of an investigation that is based on trustworthiness, and positive law such as transparency and honesty. After linking FIR with a safe evidence app; users will be able to upload their own proof directly thus enhancing the transparency of the investigation process. Pivotal contents will be in an instant glance for endurance by case involved groups. In the SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm, the alteration of the original program will be detected as a result of the hash changing its value along an iteration number. The program hashes each piece of evidence and delivers them as well-defined hash values hence the data getting unique fingerprints. Cryptography used the representations of the encoding technique to verify that original version data had no definite hash values. The system stores the hashed data instead of the centralized databases. The proof of the FIR-report evidence became real-time and tamper resistant with the blockchain, which is a technology which has made it possible to guarantee their unbreakable nature. The use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) as part of blockchain technology is a proof for safeguarding the whole process. NFTs digitize evidence into unique digital goods that certify the ownership and truthfulness of the evidence.

Abstract

Evident Guard is the best way to add credibility to the evidence in the court. It includes the First Information Report (FIR) system, SHA-1 algorithm, and secure attachment of evidence. This system revolutionizes the current mode of an investigation that is based on trustworthiness, and positive law such as transparency and honesty. After linking FIR with a safe evidence app; users will be able to upload their own proof directly thus enhancing the transparency of the investigation process. Pivotal contents will be in an instant glance for endurance by case involved groups. In the SHA-1 cryptographic algorithm, the alteration of the original program will be detected as a result of the hash changing its value along an iteration number. The program hashes each piece of evidence and delivers them as well-defined hash values hence the data getting unique fingerprints. Cryptography used the representations of the encoding technique to verify that original version data had no definite hash values. The system stores the hashed data instead of the centralized databases. The proof of the FIR-report evidence became real-time and tamper resistant with the blockchain, which is a technology which has made it possible to guarantee their unbreakable nature. The use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) as part of blockchain technology is a proof for safeguarding the whole process. NFTs digitize evidence into unique digital goods that certify the ownership and truthfulness of the evidence.
