ForensiBlock: A Provenance-Driven Blockchain Framework for Data Forensics and Auditability. (arXiv:2308.03927v1 [cs.CR])

Maintaining accurate provenance records is paramount in digital forensics, as
they underpin evidence credibility and integrity, addressing essential aspects
like accountability and reproducibility. Blockchains have several properties
that can address these requirements. Previous systems utilized public
blockchains, i.e., treated blockchain as a black box, and benefiting from the
immutability property. However, the blockchain was accessible to everyone,
giving rise to security concerns and moreover, efficient extraction of
provenance faces challenges due to the enormous scale and complexity of digital
data. …
