Solutions for enhancing the protection of digital evidence in judicial information systems

Ioan Vasile ȚICOVAN, Gheorghe SEBESTYEN

Abstract:

In the digital era, the security, integrity, and authenticity of the digital forensic evidence are crucial in a judicial information system. In the paper a system that enables users to securely store the digital evidence used in legal proceedings within an architecture designed to withstand various types of attacks is proposed. It implements 12 security solutions that ensure the authenticity and protection of the stored data and prevent the interception of information within the digital evidence repository. The system integrates multiple solutions, including blockchain, data encryption techniques, communication encryption, customized solutions for immutable data storage, and access restriction through advanced filtering mechanisms. It also provides role-based access control to the digital content, ensuring the strict permission management. The implementation results demonstrate that the system is secure, robust, and capable of handling large files efficiently.

Keywords:
cybercrime, electronic evidence, data integrity, security.
