Through use in games, databases, sensors, VoIP application, and more there is over 10 million copies of yaSSL products in production environments today - a ecosystem that is very dynamic and ever increasing.
Below you will find some of the areas that CyaSSL is being used. As a matter of policy, yaSSL does not disclose user company or project names unless those companies have publicly unveiled their use of our products.
Home Energy Monitoring
CyaSSL and CTaoCrypt are being used to develop home energy monitors being used in the cloud. CyaSSL is used to secure the connection between the device which resides at an individual’s home and the cloud used to store and process data. This allows individuals and companies to actively monitor their energy usage, take a more forward view on energy conservation, and gain control over something that was previously viewed only by power companies.
Electronic Games
CyaSSL has become a go-to solution for game developers wanting to secure online in-game communications. There are several companies actively using CyaSSL to secure the games that you play every day! CyaSSL’s support for stream ciphers, its portable nature, and its easy license model have made it perfect for gaming.
Databases
Database communication can be vulnerable if left unsecured, and the risk of data exposure is increasing with the growth in available data. For this reason, many individuals and companies use SSL and TLS to provide a secure communication link between database clients and servers. Having been built into some of the world’s largest database software, yaSSL products are widely used throughout the world to secure database communication.

Sensors
Although they may be small and extremely resource-constrained, the advent and proliferation of network-connected sensors has brought about a concern for communication security. yaSSL has met that need by creating CyaSSL to be extremely small in size while maintaining fast speeds and a full feature set.
VoIP
Voice over IP devices and networks are a natural consumer of SSL and TLS technology. Although the two fit together very well, the use of VoIP brings with it many challenges to an SSL library - including the need for high reliability and robustness under extremely heavy traffic loads. With a strong support team and a solid design, CyaSSL has met this challenge, and is currently being used to secure some of the most widely-used VoIP applications on the market.
Routers
CyaSSL has been integrated with and is being used to help secure several popular routers and router firmware packages. The portability of CyaSSL allows it to be easily and quickly ported to new operating environments - in either the embedded or enterprise world.
SSL Inspection
Do you have a need to analyze or monitor SSL traffic? It turns out that there are quite a number of people who need this functionality for one reason or another, including analyzing network problems, detecting network misuse by internal or external users, monitoring network usage and data in motion, and debugging client/server communication. CyaSSL offers SSL Inspection (or “sniffer”) capabilities which are very easy to use. For more information on CyaSSL’s SSL Inspection feature, please see Chapter 4 of the CyaSSL Manual.
