CSpace provides a platform for secure, decentralized, user-to-user communication over the internet. The driving idea behind the CSpace platform is to provide a connect(user,service) primitive, similar to the sockets API connect(ip,port). Applications built on top of CSpace can simply invoke connect(user,service) to establish a connection. The CSpace platform will take care of locating the user and creating a secure, nat/firewall friendly connection.
VAST is a light-weight network library to support scalable peer-to-peer (P2P) virtual environment / virtual world applications such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). It is based on the research of Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON) published
dual-licensed implementation of SSL. It includes SSL client libraries and an SSL server implementation. It supports multiple APIs, including those defined by SSL and TLS. It also supports an OpenSSL compatibility interface.
