## ABSTRACT ## ABSTRACT
**Factum-Notes** is a specialized software utility designed for the rigorous documentation of digital forensic investigations. It addresses the critical requirement for data integrity within the chain of custody by offering immediate cryptographic signing of all analyst entries, while this is optional and configurable by the analyst. **Factum-Notes** is a note-taking application built for the demands of a forensic investigation. It addresses the requirement for integrity within the analytic process by implementing immediate cryptographic signing of all analyst entries, while this is optional and configurable by the analyst.
Designed for operation in forensic-grade, air-gapped environments, the system ensures that every note, observation, and artifact is timestamped, hashed, and optionally signed via GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) upon creation. This architecture provides a verifiable, court-admissible audit trail, ensuring that the investigative timeline remains immutable and tamper-evident.
