An unimpeachable chain of custody system and method includes a confirmation authentication
system that facilitates receiving and storing a communication signal that is indicative
of an evidentiary item captured at a determined location and at a determined time.
The confirmation authentication system and method further facilitates generating
and transmitting a chain of custody confirmation signal to a transportable input
system that the communication signal has been authenticated and stored for subsequent
retrieval. The transportable input system includes a positioning device and a communication
device that cooperate to facilitates generating and transmitting the communication
signal in response to receiving the chain of custody confirmation signal. The transportable
input system further facilitates generating an authentication signal that the communication
signal was generated by the input system at about the determined location and at
about the determined time so that the integrity of the received evidentiary item
