With this release, any user can deploy the completely ready to use Emercoin Blockchain Engine, including EMCSSH as a service as well as a web-wallet with their Microsoft Azure subscription. No additional settings or installations are required by design, providing a full “turn-key” solution, ready to use.

This solution can be used as a structural foundation and blockchain subsystem for more complex systems, as well an independent online wallet with web access.

At its core, the solution consists of a virtual machine running CentOS 7.2 and its dependencies which includes Emercoin software as well as external access via the secure JSON/HTTPS (API) protocols. There is also secure access to the web wallet via HTTPS certificates that are generated on the client side. Forms of authorization can include either a password, or a client certificate with EMCSSL. The online interface provides full functionality, including financial operations and management of records in the NVS subsystem.

Among the solutions available to users who subscribe to the Emercoin Blockchain Engine are the following: Emercoin Client (the command-line client of the blockchain and the wallet, its API), EMCSSH (providing secure remote login to the server as well as preventing man-in-the-middle attacks), EMCWEB (allowing access to an Emercoin wallet securely installed on your own cloud server), which allows the user to develop custom blockchain applications without needing to install each client wallet desired.

The platform will allow developers the opportunity to create mobile or “lite” applications, with access to all of the functions of the Emercoin blockchain.
