A system and a method for tracking history of a digital object using cryptographic chain. The digital object is encrypted using a cryptographic technique to form a first time travel record of a cryptographic chain. Further, an update in the digital object is detected. Furthermore, an updated digital object is encrypted to form a second time travel record. The first time travel record and the second time travel record are linked to form the cryptographic chain through a composite key. Subsequently, an input from the user is received to identify a change in the digital object. The cryptographic chain is sequentially decrypted based on the input. Finally, a change in the digital object is identified based on a comparison of the first time travel record and the second time travel record, thereby tracking history of the digital object using the cryptographic chain.
