are there any developments with respect to custody chains going on? I found that this is an very interesting concept.
I was wondering what is Chain of custody exactly and found a def at wiki.
It shows details and fields where it could be applied.
Wiki
Chain of custody (CoC), in legal contexts, refers to the
chronological documentation or paper trail, showing the seizure, custody, control, transfer, analysis, and disposition of physical or electronic evidence.
Particularly important in
criminal cases, the concept is also applied in
civil litigation – and sometimes more broadly in drug testing of athletes, traceability of food products and to provide assurances that wood products originate from sustainably managed forests.
The term is also sometimes used in the fields of
history, art history, and archives as a synonym for
provenance (meaning the chronology of the
ownership, custody or location of a historical object, document or group of documents), which may be an important factor in determining authenticity.
