  • If the log record is tagged as Original, there are no changes. If the log record is tagged as Tampered, it means that he log record has somehow been changed in the database by a malicious user. If there is any undue modification of log record name, time, client IP, hash info etc., the tamper proof mechanism identifies it and flags it as Tampered. If the log record is tagged as Unknown, it has not yet been hashed by the batch process. Once it is hashed in the background, its status will be updated to Original or Tampered.
