▲ ▼ Proving computer hack
If a computer is hacked and fake incriminating evidence is placed by the attacker; The victim is left to the mercy of the investigating agencies to uncover the truth and for vindication.
We need a way to prove that our computer was hacked beyond any reasonable doubt as an user without dependence on forensic experts.
Just like how tamper evident labels on physical products tell us if someone has tampered with that product, I would like something for computers which definitely tells that it has been tampered(hacked) with and which can be used in the court of law.

Right now network logs, system logs and detection of malware by anti-virus software are common ways to tell if the computer is compromised; of-course compromise of online accounts can be dealt with the support of the service provider.
So I think a tamper-proof label for a computer would be a way to publish the system integrity online using the aforementioned logs publicly to know and prove that the system was tampered.
We should be able to publish the system integrity for all the devices which could be compromised including smartphones, smart watches etc.
What would this look like, ideally? Do you mean a tool that gets the logs and just publishes it as a PDF for instance?
I don't have anything specific in my mind KeMonte`, just constructing the fundamentals in my comment.
