摘要：
Recently, smart contracts were introduced as a necessity to automatically execute specific operations within blockchain systems. The popularity and diversity of blockchain systems attracted intensive attentions from academia, industry and other sectors. Blockchain systems were implemented using different programming languages that used in defining the triggering events and their consequent actions within the smart contract. In this article, we propose a digital evidences preservation framework that supports logic-based smart contracts to manage entries associated with digital evidences. Combining logic-based approach and blockchain systems may result in ensuing contracts that have technical advantages over procedural coding. The paper shows the motivation for choosing logic-based approach to define a smart contract. We introduce the rules and structure of the proposed logic-based contract. © 2023 Slovene Society Informatika. All rights reserved.
