Abstract
The authenticity of evidence in legal, financial and educational sectors is very important during the digital age. The traditional methods of storing and managing evidence often result in documents that can be easily tampered with. In response to these challenges, this article suggests a blockchain-based system called Evidence Protection System (EPS). Incorporating the inherent features of blockchain including immutability, distributed nature and transparency, EPS is designed to provide a safe platform for keeping evidence. Utilizing smart contracts, the system streamlines the authentication process while reducing or totally eliminating intermediaries who may expose it to manipulation or corruption. Additionally, encryption techniques are applied to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This research paper examines various aspects of EPS including its architecture, data structure as well as mechanisms for consensus and integration with existing systems. Moreover, it highlights some advantages of implementing blockchain technology in relation to the creation of accurate forms of proof like reduced costs; better privacy; and improved efficiency.
