Digital Evidence Chain-of-Custody System
Forensic digital asset tracking ledger utilizing cryptographic SHA-256 hashing and immutable audit trails.
Project Overview
Ensures evidence admissibility in legal proceedings by logging disk image hashes, evidence transfers, and investigator access history on an immutable blockchain ledger to prevent evidence tampering. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for Digital Evidence Chain-of-Custody System.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
