An American cloud-based software company Salesforce has recently got an approval for a patent to develop a Blockchain-based email platform that can better address key issues such as ‘spam’ and ‘Unauthentic Data’ with ease. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published about the same on its website on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

The team of Salesforce is on a move to develop a cloud-based mailing platform that can offer improved emailing experience. The patented solution states that the platform can let the users know whether the mail received has been modified while being sent or not. Not just that, it can also act as an improved filter to separate the spams from genuine emails.

The technical part of the patent explains the way it will verify the authenticity of any email. As stated, the first email message server will record a particular component of an email message inside a block for its easy verification by other nodes. When the second server receives the message, it will run a comparison with other blocks to find out the required component. If the match is found, the email gets into the inbox, else it moves into the spam folder.

Though the Blockchain patent filed by Salesforce has specifically drafted the solution for the mailing platform, the same can be used for checking the authenticity of other platforms such as medical records, educational transcripts, deeds, property rights, and legal documents.
