民事证据证明视野下的区块链存证

Blockchain Deposit Dertificate from the Perspective of Civil Evidence

区块链技术的兴起对民事证据证明产生了影响。区块链存证技术的运作原理和其对民事诉讼证据理论的价值,需要从技术和法理两个方面进行探讨及进行交叉研究,哈希值和去中心化技术保证存入区块链上的证据不被修改,继而保证其真实性。区块链存证可以在技术上解决电子数据的转化式应用和电子数据的无痕修改两大难题。但也需对该技术保持清醒的态度,虽然区块链可以通过技术使存储后的证据不被修改,但区块链存证并不能保证证据的真实性,尤其是在存证平台资质、链下所生成电子数据的真实性以及是否为诉争的电子数据等。区块链存证技术在以下三方面对法学理论和实务带来一定影响:区分电子数据原件和区块链上复制件,电子数据和其他证据种类的依赖关系,以及区块链存证的自我认证和公证。

The rise of blockchain technology has an impact on civil evidence. The operational evidences of blockchain and its values need to be discussed into two aspects which classified into the technology and the legal theory. Hash and decentralized technology ensure that the evidence stored in the blockchain is explicitly credible. Blockchain can be used to solve the two problems that electronic evidence needs to be transformed and modified without the trace. However,according to the way of the evidence preservation, we need to evaluate the technology objectively. Blockchain evidence will affect civil justice in the following three aspects: difference between original and copy on electronic evidence, the dependencies between the electronic evidence and other kinds of evidences, and whether blockchain technology can solve the self-certification of the electronic evidence.
