Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems are provided for maintaining a chain of custody record for the handling of an item transferred among a plurality of custodians. A system in accordance with one or more embodiments can include a plurality of computers operable by the custodians. The system also includes an electronic form transferable among the computers. The form is transferred from a computer operated by one custodian to a computer operated by another in correspondence with the transfer of the item from the custodian to the other. The form identifies the item and includes space for entry of information by each custodian handling the item. The information entered by the custodians includes an identification of the custodian and a digital signature of the custodian authenticating the item. At least some of the information entered by a custodian is unalterable by another custodian.
