Blockchain enabled Vault for Evidence Management System

Abstract

Blockchain-enabled vault for evidence management systems have played an important role in the judicial system to provide an efficient, convenient, and secure access system over the cloud. Criminal record-keeping is a crucial aspect of law enforcement and judicial systems worldwide. Conventional approaches to criminal record storage are frequently plagued by security flaws, inefficiencies, and a lack of transparency. To achieve data integrity and privacy preservation, we proposed the Ethereum Blockchain to create the Vault. Building a Blockchain application on Ethereum ensures data integrity and security by employing three-factor authentication (password, OTP, and biometrics). The document will be stored on the Blockchain after the update from the judicial system and then stored in the Blockchain and Vault in an encrypted form. This application will ensure data integrity, authentication, and privacy preservation. The results show that the Blockchain-enabled Vault is a more secure way of managing, accessing, and protecting the criminal record that ensures data integrity and privacy. The suggested Vault is costeffective and can be easily integrated into Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) to maintain the necessary security challenges.
