Enigma - A Secure Forensic Data Sharing Using Blockchain

Abstract

-A forensic laboratory is often referred to as a crime lab. The forensic laboratory examines evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, used bullet casings, and even tyre tracks to establish if a crime has been committed and who the offender is. For example, everything collected during the examination of victims of sexual assault such as body fluids, hairs, fibers, or anything found on the victim's clothing may be analyzed at a forensic laboratory. The type of analysis will depend on the type of evidence being analyzed. Evidence is the most important part of the investigation to proceed. In some of the cases, we can see that pieces of evidence are being altered or modified, or changed even before it reaches the judiciary system. Because of this, justice won’t be served to the needy and eventually, the crime rate will increase. The project’s goal is to create a blockchain network that takes the forensic report as input from the pathology lab and that tamper-proof forensic report will be sent to the police station securely.
