Unbreakable Chain of Custody.
Evidence That Holds Up.

Legal evidence documentation with cryptographic proof of authenticity, immutable timestamps, and verified identity for litigation and compliance.

The Problem

Digital Evidence Is Under Scrutiny

Courts demand proof that digital evidence has not been altered. Standard photos and videos lack the verifiable provenance needed for admissibility.

Evidence Tampering

Digital photos are easily manipulated with widely available tools, undermining their admissibility and credibility in legal proceedings.

🔗

Chain of Custody Gaps

Every hand-off of digital evidence creates a potential point of challenge in court. Without a verifiable chain, opposing counsel can cast doubt on authenticity.

🏛

Admissibility Challenges

Courts increasingly scrutinise digital evidence authenticity. Without cryptographic proof, even genuine evidence can be excluded from proceedings.

The Solution

How Kura Solves This

Four steps from camera to court-ready evidence — no special hardware, no workflow changes.

1

Capture

Photograph or record evidence using Kura's web app. The media is hashed instantly at the point of capture before it can be altered.

2

Certify

The SHA-256 hash, claimed GPS, and verified identity are anchored to the Internet Computer blockchain via consensus — creating an immutable record.

3

Encrypt & Store

The original media is encrypted with vetKeys and stored on-chain. Only authorised parties — solicitors, barristers, and the court — can decrypt.

4

Verify

Any party can independently verify the evidence — hash match, timestamp, and identity — with a single link. No account required.

Features

Built for Legal Workflows

📷

Point-of-Capture Hashing

SHA-256 hash is generated the instant evidence is captured — establishing integrity before any transfer or handling occurs.

Consensus Timestamp

Blockchain consensus provides a judicially reliable timestamp — not a device clock or editable EXIF data that can be challenged.

👤

Identity Verification

Every capture is linked to a verified identity, establishing who collected the evidence and creating an unbroken chain of custody.

🔒

End-to-End Encryption

vetKeys encryption ensures sensitive evidence is only accessible to authorised legal professionals and parties to the matter.

📄

PDF Evidence Pack

Generate court-admissible evidence documents with full cryptographic proof, chain of custody, and a complete audit trail for disclosure.

🔗

Shareable Verification

Share a single verification link with opposing counsel, the court, or any stakeholder. No account needed to confirm authenticity.

🔐

Time-Lock Evidence

Seal evidence until a specified date. Nobody — including the evidence owner — can access it until the designated unlock time. Perfect for litigation holds and delayed disclosure.

Real-World Scenario

Service of Process — Proof Beyond Doubt

Case Study

A solicitor sends a process server to document service of legal papers. The process server photographs the delivery using Kura — capturing the recipient, the documents, and the property address.

Each photo is instantly hashed, timestamped by blockchain consensus, and linked to the process server's verified identity. The claimed GPS confirms they are at the correct address.

Result: When the defendant claims they were never served, the blockchain-timestamped, identity-verified photos with location data provide irrefutable proof of service. The court accepts the evidence without further challenge.

Without Kura, the solicitor would rely solely on a witness statement — easily disputed and potentially requiring additional hearings, costing the client time and money.
