Investigation Methodology

Investigation Notes (Encrypted)

Investigation notes are structured records created by investigators to document observations, hypotheses, interview summaries, and analytical conclusions during a case. In digital OSINT platforms, investigation notes benefit from end-to-end encryption with modern authenticated ciphers to ensure confidentiality. Advanced implementations include client-side key derivation via PBKDF2, rich text editing with tables and formatting, encrypted file attachments, and integration with entity correlation graphs for linking notes to investigative entities and relationships.
