The Government of the United Kingdom has published plans to conduct a pilot project for the storage of digital evidence on a blockchain.
The initiative was revealed in an announcement by Balaji Anbil, responsible for digital architecture and information security at the court of His Majesty (HMCTS) under the Ministry of Justice.
Reform of the Court
In the announcement, Anbil has revealed that the HMCTS pushes to examine the technology of the distributed ledger constitutes an important part of the body's body reform plan. HMCTS and the UK Office Cabinet Office's Open Innovation team held a joint meeting to this end, with the goal of establishing how digital blockchains and registers can help judicial reforms.
Providing technical skills during the meeting was Dr. Sadek Ferdous, Politician and Associate Researcher at the Imperial College of London. He explained to the participants that the decentralized nature of distributed registries offers them a very high level of integrity and enables innovative data solutions.
He went on to explain how blockchains can help in managing digital evidence by creating an infallible control trail that tracks the case and prevents tampering. This audit trail is essentially the basis for the registration of the judicial system of creation, modification and access to digital evidence by which entity.
Using these tests, it is possible to create accurate and sequential reconstructions of events to examine the actions and determine how the current state of digital evidence has become. As such, the blockchain actually has the power to provide a critical protection framework for digital evidence by providing a guarantee of chain integrity

In the blog, Anbil has further revealed that researchers from the University of Surrey are working on a DLT project with the National Archives to create a solution for the storage of secure digital archives. Also, there's a plan to try a blockchain-based inter-agency evidence sharing platform that will come into effect later in 2018.
Expressing its excitement over government interest in technology blockchain Anbil said:
"We are very excited to work with the Open Innovation team at the Cabinet and host leadership events on emerging technologies with our colleagues within the digital government communities."
