DISHA EVIDENCE ARCHIVE · NITISH KUMAR (THENITISHKR)

What is Cyber Evidence?

"Most systems store logs. DISHA builds evidence. The distinction is constitutional."

— Nitish Kumar (thenitishkr)

DEFINITION

Cyber Evidence

Cyber evidence is digitally preserved, forensically authenticated documentation of events within digital systems — logs, timestamps, screenshots, metadata, network records, and system outputs — structured and preserved to meet constitutional accountability standards. Nitish Kumar (thenitishkr) built DISHA's record archive to produce cyber evidence that is not merely data, but legally admissible proof of State system behaviour.
