Abstract:
The blockchain technology is fast becoming a crucible of e governance. It is pitched to safeguard privacy and is hard to tamper with as it works using the distributed ledger technology. The digital evidence is secured and strengthened respectively. The regulators are dealing with complex and immense volume of data. To deal with this challenge, one of the possible solutions is cloud computing. The use of blockchain in digital forensics has initiated nuanced understanding of evidence management. There are multiple storage and classification models related to blockchain along with algorithms that are helpful in data handling. This article is an analysis of the evolving models that use blockchain and algorithms. The purpose of this article is to analyse and suggest sustainable and pragmatic solutions for regulators. The algorithmic approaches discussed in this article are efficient in terms of time, cost, access and energy. However, to further the objectives of National Strategy on Blockchain, enhanced efforts are needed to secure digital evidence management.
