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.

  • 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.
