Overview#

The Chain of Custody domain provides tamper-evident evidence tracking with cryptographic verification. It maintains a complete audit trail of all evidence handling actions including collection, transfer, analysis, and storage with hash-based integrity verification and digital signatures.

Key Features#

  • Complete evidence lifecycle tracking with 10 action types (collected, transferred, stored, retrieved, analyzed, copied, returned, destroyed, sealed, unsealed)
  • Cryptographic integrity verification with hash-before and hash-after state tracking
  • Digital signature capture for non-repudiation of custody actions
  • Independent verification system with third-party status tracking and dispute handling
  • Chain linking for sequential verification across the evidence lifecycle
  • Tamper detection alerting when integrity checks fail
  • Export capability for legal documentation and court proceedings
  • Chronological timeline view with entry counting

Use Cases#

  1. Tracking digital evidence from collection through forensic analysis to court presentation
  2. Verifying evidence integrity with independent third-party hash checks
  3. Documenting custody transfers with digital signatures for legal proceedings
  4. Generating court-admissible chain of custody reports for evidence items

Integration#

Integrates with evidence management, investigation, audit, digital asset, and forensics domains for end-to-end evidence lifecycle tracking.
