Description

In todays world, Digital Forensics is a crucial subject with much scope as data storage becomes more decentralised. The collection and preservation of digital media is a topic of concern across the Cyber Security and Digital Forensics field. With Cloud Infrastructure and other technologies, data is not permanently stored in one place and gathering and analysing it can become a headache for Forensic Investigators. Blockchain, however, works as a decentralised, distributed peer-to-peer network and thus can be considered a suitable solution for the mentioned problems. With the help of a blockchain network and Smart Contracts, Digital Forensics can be significantly improved to adapt to modern digital architecture.
