Tamper-Evident Audit Record

A tamper-evident audit record is a log entry for one decision that is hashed, hash-chained to the record before it, and kept write-once, so that changing any record breaks the chain at that point.

Also known as: tamper-evident audit log, hash-chained audit trail

Why tamper-evidence matters

A log that an administrator can edit proves little. A tamper-evident, hash-chained record shows any change without requiring you to trust the vendor or the operator.

In Raidu

Every decision is written once with SHA-256 per record, chained by previous hash, anchored outside the database and kept write-once for ten years. Records are linked so any change shows. Database triggers refuse updates and deletes. See Evidence and Audit.

Can an admin delete a record? +
No. Database triggers refuse updates and deletes on the record.
How does this work with GDPR erasure? +
The content is stored by reference and can be erased; the hash stays, so the chain still verifies.
