Decentralized Evidence Management and AI-Assisted Forensic Sketch Generation System

Abstract

The increasing reliance on digital evidence in criminal investigations necessitates secure and transparent management systems. Traditional forensic systems suffer from vulnerabilities such as data tampering, lack of traceability, and inefficient suspect identification. This paper proposes a decentralized system, ForensicChain, which integrates blockchain technology, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and artificial intelligence for secure evidence management and forensic sketch generation. Blockchain ensures immutability and transparent chain of custody, while IPFS provides decentralized storage.
