Microsoft has unveiled a framework called “Coco” for enterprise blockchain networks. Coco is an open-source protocol designed to help commercial companies and large-scale enterprises process information on the Ethereum blockchain with increased privacy. Microsoft said the company has already started exploring the Coco Framework’s potential across a variety of industries, including supply chain, retail and financial services. The framework leverages the power of existing blockchain protocols, trusted execution environments (TEEs) including Intel’s SGX (Software Guard Extensions) and distributed systems and cryptography.
