Study of Authentication Mechanism of E-evidence in the E-commerce Litigation

摘要

E-commerce has a great impact on burden of proof and cross-examination, etc, in the traditional evidence rules. After analyzing the cross-examination and certification obstacles encountered during e-commerce disputes, the paper proposes an authentication mechanism of e-evidence combined with network security audit system. Based on graph theory, the mechanism constructs a chain of evidence fragment for a lawsuit to authenticate e-evidence. Experiment is performed to validate the effectivity of proposed mechanism, which can improve the adoption rate as direct evidence in judicial decisions.
