AB Log files are essential assets for IT engineers engaged in the security of serverand computer systems. They provide crucial information for identifying malicious events,conducting cybersecurity incident analyses, performing audits, system maintenance, andensuring compliance with security regulations. Nevertheless, there is still the possibility ofdeliberate data manipulation by own personnel, especially with regard to system accessand configuration changes, where error tracking or debugging traces are vital. To addresstampering of log files, this work proposes a solution to ensure data integrity, immutability,and non-repudiation through different blockchain-based public registry systems. Thisapproach offers an additional layer of security through a decentralized, tamper-resistantledger. To this end, this manuscript aims to provide a solid guideline for creating securelog storage systems. For this purpose, methodologies and experiments using two differentblockchains are presented to demonstrate their effectiveness in various contexts, such astransactions with and without metadata. The findings suggest that Solana’s response timesmake it well suited for environments with moderately critical records requiring certification.In contrast, Cardano shows higher response times, thus making it suitable for less frequentevents with metadata that requires legitimacy.
