ABSTRACT
This project introduces a Secure Digital Evidence Management System that
enhances the collection, storage, and analysis of forensic evidence in both cloud
and on-premises settings. Key features include cryptographic hashing for
integrity, blockchain for chain-of-custody tracking, role-based access control,
and secure authentication methods. The system allows efficient management
and verification of evidence, along with compliance report generation.
Additionally, DevOps-driven CI/CD deployment ensures scalability and reliability,
addressing vital challenges in digital forensics for legally defensible evidence
handling.

INTRODUCTION
The Secure Digital Evidence Management System is a web-based platform
designed to handle the complete lifecycle of digital evidence in forensic
investigations. It enables secure collection, storage, verification, and retrieval
of evidence while preserving its integrity through cryptographic hashing and
a robust chain-of-custody mechanism. The system incorporates role-based
access control, PKI-based authentication, and encrypted object storage to
protect sensitive data. By integrating monitoring, audit logging, and
compliance reporting, SDEMS ensures transparency, legal admissibility, and
operational efficiency in incident response and digital forensics.

WORKFLOW
[Link] Evidence → User uploads file & metadata is
recorded
[Link] Check → SHA-256 hash generated & stored
[Link] Storage → Encrypted storage
[Link] Control → Role-based access with PKI/MFA
[Link] of Custody → Track every action with timestamp &
hash
[Link] & Monitoring → Log all activities, monitor via Grafana
[Link] Generation → Create compliance & integrity reports
