An Evaluation of Web3 Concepts and Technologies and Relation with Digital Forensics

Abstract

The World is experiencing a significant shift in how technology is being used and how new strategies are being developed to streamline and get around bureaucratic processes. Cannot continue without mentioning blockchain as a revolutionary decentralization concept that also serves as a foundational notion for Web 3. One must admit that this is a struggle we are going through and that will continue into this new period as we add more approaches and technologies. In this study, the Web3 principles (like decentralization, trust and security, privacy and data protection), methodologies, and technologies are evaluated, along with their connections to digital forensics. Various viewpoints emphasizing the difficulties and current condition of these issues are offered. Authors discuss their viewpoints while highlighting their extensive background in digital forensics, keeping in mind that digital forensics is a relatively new profession. Based on their viewpoint's conclusions are being set. This work is currently being done by the authors as part of their research in the field of digital forensics and Web3.
