Chain-Hash Audit Framework with Trusted Anchoring for Tamper-Evident Evidence Lifecycle Management

This paper proposes the Chain-Hash Audit Framework (CHAF), a novel architecture that enhances traditional hash-chain logging by integrating authorization status, timestamps, and lifecycle properties with signed checkpoints and external anchoring to create a tamper-evident, verifiable evidence chain that significantly reduces audit reconstruction time for digital asset systems.
