Microsoft has teamed up with Tierion, a blockchain identity startup, to secure sensitive pieces of information on a public blockchain.

The Microsoft and Tierion development teams are looking to build a blockchain-based platform wherein anyone can sign data, claims and agreements in an immutable and transparent ecosystem. Ultimately, the tech company hopes to commercialize a secure Blockchain platform, which can be utilized by a wide range of users to secure data in an unalterable ledger, according to CoinTelegraph. Both companies plan to launch a system applicable to complex operations handled in various industries such as finance and healthcare.
