Objective: To design, develop, and evaluate a DLT-based system for collecting, storing, and verifying digital evidence in consumer rights violations, such as false product claims or copyright violations.
Research Focus: Design a technical architecture using DLT (e.g., blockchain or DAG) to capture digital evidence like content, URLs, and timestamps.
Key Deliverables:
- A working prototype of a DLT-based evidence system.
- An evaluation of the system’s ability to meet legal requirements for evidence admissibility in civil courts.
