An electronic discovery management system communicatively coupled with a communications network including a database for storing electronic documents, wherein each electronic document is associated with a fingerprint. The system also includes a server configured for: receiving a plurality of documents and generating a fingerprint of each document; receiving a request for a set of documents of the plurality of documents; accessing the set of documents in the database and generating a subsequent fingerprint for each document of the set, and comparing said subsequent fingerprint with a corresponding fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database; if, for each document of the set, said subsequent fingerprint is identical to the fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database, then transmitting, over the communications network, the set of documents; and providing documents that have not been tampered with. |

1. An electronic discovery management system communicatively coupled with a communications network, comprising:
a) a database for storing a plurality of electronic documents, wherein each electronic document is associated with a fingerprint of said document, the database coupled to the communications network; and b) a server communicatively coupled with the communications network and with the database, the server configured for:
1) receiving a plurality of documents via the communications network, and storing the plurality of documents in the attached database;2) generating a fingerprint of each document, by executing a mapping algorithm on each document that maps document data to a shorter bit string, wherein each fingerprint is associated with a corresponding document in the database;3) receiving a request from a user, over the communications network, for a first set of documents of the plurality of documents;4) accessing the first set of documents in the database;5) generating, for each document of the first set, a subsequent fingerprint and comparing said subsequent fingerprint with a corresponding fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database;6) if, for each document of the first set, said subsequent fingerprint is identical to the fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database, then transmitting, over the communications network, the first set of documents to said user;7) receiving a request, over the communications network, to store a second set of documents of the plurality of documents on a remote storage medium;8) accessing the second set of documents in the database;9) generating, for each document of the second set, a subsequent fingerprint for and comparing said subsequent fingerprint with a corresponding fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database; and10) if, for each document of the second set, said subsequent fingerprint is identical to the fingerprint stored in association with said document in the database, then transmitting, over the communications network, the second set of documents to the remote storage medium for storage. |
