The problem SecureEvidence solves

Description:
SecureEvidence is a modern web application designed to enhance data integrity and security by leveraging the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology. The primary goal of the project is to provide a secure platform for adding evidence files, such as documents, audio clips, and video clips, into IPFS. By storing evidence on IPFS, the system ensures that data remains immutable and tamper-proof, providing a reliable solution for maintaining the integrity of crucial information.

Key Features:

IPFS Integration: Seamlessly integrates with IPFS, a decentralized and distributed file storage system, to store evidence files securely.
File Upload: Allows users to upload various types of evidence files, including documents (PDF, DOCX), audio clips (MP3), and video clips (MP4).
Data Integrity: Ensures the integrity and authenticity of evidence files by leveraging IPFS's cryptographic hashing and content-addressing mechanisms.
User Authentication: Implements user authentication and access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can upload and access evidence files.
Evidence Management: Provides functionalities for managing uploaded evidence files, such as viewing, downloading, and verifying file integrity.
Tamper-Proof Storage: Utilizes IPFS's decentralized architecture to store evidence redundantly across multiple nodes, making it highly resistant to data tampering and censorship.
Audit Trail: Maintains a comprehensive audit trail of all actions performed on evidence files, including uploads, downloads, and verifications, for transparency and accountability.
User-Friendly Interface: Offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface for easy navigation, file management, and interaction with the platform.
Scalability: Designed to scale effectively to handle a large volume of evidence files while maintaining performance and reliability.
