(1)
Begin
(2)
Using the SBVM system, verify the investigator's identity.
(3)
Determine the case’s evidence.
(4)
Collect evidence in the form of {Evidence_Identity, Time_stamp, IP_Source, uploaded_User, accessed_User, Performed_Actions, Hash_Tn, Block Hash, Location_Attribute, virtual machine server, and OFS ID} from blockchain.
(5)
Create an evidence graph by means of attributes of evidence.
(6)
For every one of the evidence
(7)
Ensure that {Block_Hash && IP_Source} are right and correct.
(8)
If this is the case (Verification D True)
