Yes we do. We have several commercial products which use OpenSSL for SSL, RSA key and
X.509 certificate generation and encryption. We have been using it since SSLeay days
and have seen significant improvement under the management of the OpenSSL Development
team, and the huge traffic on the mailing lists.
We have used Consensus SSLplus, RSA BSAFE, and Baltimore KeyTools and have found
OpenSSL no harder to use. The one facet of OpenSSL which is both the best and worst
of worlds is the availability of multiple levels of APIs. Yea, open source. It is a
lot to swallow, especially for a beginner crypto programmer.
And we are not the only ones. Stronghold is the famous commercial product using both
Apache and OpenSSL.
Perhaps OpenSSL.org should accept and post commercial product names and/or start a
voluntary "OpenSSL Inside" type branding program (like the "powered by Apache" logo).
