Microsoft, India's Tanla Launch Encrypted Messaging Infrastructure Built With Blockchain

Microsoft and India-based cloud communications firm Tanla Platforms have launched a blockchain-based communications platform-as-a-service aimed to offer more private and secure messaging.

According to an announcement Thursday, Microsoft was the development partner and architect behind Wisely, which is being targeted at enterprises, mobile carriers, over-the-top content providers and more.
The edge-to-edge encrypted platform is built on Microsoft Azure as a global network for secure communications including SMS, email and chat messages.
Businesses can access the network via a single application programming interface (API) offering multi-channel capabilities.
Building Wisely with blockchain technology brings "complete data visibility, enabling a single source of truth for all stakeholders," according to the firms.
Wisely said it has now been granted three patents in cryptography and blockchain processes by the United States Patents & Trademark Office.
The Wisely platform will be sold by both companies globally.
