Abstract

This article describes the possibilities and prospects for the use of information technologies in the judicial system, reveals the principles of “blockchain” technology, and justifies the possibility of using this technology in assessing the reliability of evidence presented in the form of electronic documents. So, after the “General euphoria” on the topic of blockchain, it became clear that the technology is imperfect and requires further development, especially in the judicial system of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that only major players have resources for it in Russia so far. There is a request for blockchain in areas where there is no single registry or it does not cause trust. The difficulty is that building a more or less secure system requires a lot of validation nodes, otherwise “it is difficult to expect effective use of the blockchain”, and this is the most expensive part. It is proposed to create a unified information blockchain platform for legal proceedings.
