According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Blockchain and AI-Based Smart Evidence Integrity Preservation and Chain-of-Custody System This invention describes a Smart Evidence Integrity Preservation System (SEIPS) configured to ensure authenticity verification, tamper detection, and secure chain-of-custody management of digital and physical evidentiary materials. The system integrates a secure evidence capture device with biometric authentication and GPS-synchronized timestamping, a cryptographic hashing engine configured to generate unique digital fingerprints of evidence files, and a permissioned blockchain-based custody ledger for immutable evidence transaction recording. An artificial intelligence-based monitoring engine continuously analyzes access patterns, metadata consistency, and hash integrity to detect unauthorized modifications or anomalous behavior. For physical evidentiary materials, RFID or NFC-enabled smart evidence seals generate breach notifications upon unauthorized container access. The system further includes an automated judicial compliance documentation module configured to generate standardized chain-of-custody certificates, audit trails, and integrity validation reports suitable for legal proceedings. The integrated architecture enhances evidentiary reliability, transparency, and forensic accountability."
