Acronis Cyber Notary is a new, innovative service based on blockchain technology. But before we move into that, let’s define what a blockchain is. It can be known to some due to its usage in Bitcoin currency, but it’s a lot more than just bitcoin technology and it can be used in a much wider set of scenarios, such as for data protection. Many industries have already started to use blockchain or are actively looking into it. For example, cloud storage, art and ownership, anti-counterfeiting, governance, Internet of things, and digital identity.
