Beame.io

What Beame.io does

Beame.io is a privately held cryptographic identity and SSL/TLS certificate management company headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel with an additional office in Florida, USA. The company delivers blockchain-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using X.509 SSL/TLS certificates — branded Crypto-ID technology — that enables secure authenticated remote access to devices and applications without requiring public IP addresses, firewalls, or DNS configuration. The technical stack uses 2048-bit RSA encryption with AES 128 for control data transfers, complies with US Government Authenticator Assurance Level 3 (AAL3) and Identity Assurance Level 3 (IAL3) standards, and stores cryptographic identity events in an immutable blockchain ledger that forms a "Trust Tree" of hierarchical X.509 certificates. Secret keys are generated and remain on the user's device, never leaving it.

The product portfolio centers on beame-Gatekeeper (an open-source framework for authenticated remote access via HTTPS tunnels using a mobile device as the identity factor), beame-insta-ssl (a free tool for exposing local web applications over HTTPS without public IPs), the beame Mobile Authenticator iOS app, a JavaScript SDK, and integrations for Nextcloud and JetBrains IDEs. The company targets a horizontal set of use cases: IoT device enrollment, DevOps/cloud application security, enterprise SAML SSO with MFA, authenticated WLAN access, ephemeral container security, and healthcare data access.

Beame.io operates a hybrid open-source/commercial model with core code released under Apache License 2.0 and proprietary commercial licenses also available. Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based pricing of SSL/TLS certificates, ranging from $1.50 per cert for individual certificates down to $0.20 per cert at 10M+ volume tiers, with a free evaluation tier of up to 3 certificates per year. The go-to-market is product-led and community-led, relying on developer adoption through NPM, GitHub, JetBrains marketplace, and Nextcloud App Store, while enterprise and high-volume licensing is handled via direct sales. Notable partnerships include GlobalSign for co-marketing on cloud IoT PKI, and direct integrations with Nextcloud and JetBrains.

Core offering

Beame.io delivers blockchain-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) identity solutions and SSL/TLS X.509 certificates at low cost, packaged with the open-source software and SDKs needed to integrate them. Its products enable authenticated HTTPS tunnels to devices without public IP addresses, eliminating passwords and proxies via cryptographic identity. The offering spans open-source tools (Gatekeeper, Insta-SSL, Core SDK), a mobile authenticator app, and paid certificates sold on tiered volume pricing.

Product overview

Beame.io offers a PKI-based cryptographic identity and SSL/TLS certificate management platform. The core product portfolio consists of beame-Gatekeeper (open-source framework for authenticated remote access via HTTPS tunnels using mobile device authentication), beame-insta-ssl (free tool for secure local web access via random hostnames without public IPs), and the beame Mobile Authenticator (iOS app functioning as cryptographic identity provider). These products are complemented by the beame Core SDK for developers and integration plugins for Nextcloud and JetBrains IDEs. All products leverage blockchain-based PKI identity technology using X.509 SSL/TLS certificates with 2048-bit RSA keys, enabling app-to-app encrypted data sharing without requiring proxies, firewall configuration, or password-based authentication.

Direct peers

• Let's Encrypt: Free, automated, open CA issuing browser-trusted X.509 certificates. Direct overlap with Beame.io's certificate issuance and SSL/TLS positioning, and the primary free competitor that anchors the pricing floor.
• ngrok: Provides secure HTTPS tunnels to local services without public IPs or firewall changes — the same core developer-experience value as beame-insta-ssl and beame-Gatekeeper.
• Tailscale: Zero-trust WireGuard-based mesh networking for secure access to devices without public IPs. Competes in the same 'authenticated remote access' use case Beame.io's Gatekeeper targets.
• ZeroSSL: Issues free and low-cost 90-day SSL certificates with automation tooling. Closest direct low-cost/free competitor to Beame.io's tiered SSL/TLS certificate pricing.

Broad incumbents

• Sectigo: Large commercial CA offering TLS, IoT/device identity, and enterprise PKI. Overlaps with Beame.io's certificate and device-identity positioning across SMB and enterprise segments.
• Cloudflare: Provides free universal SSL, Cloudflare Tunnel (HTTPS tunnels without public IPs), and a zero-trust access suite. Directly competes with Beame.io's tunnel-plus-identity stack as part of a much broader CDN/security platform.
• DigiCert: Leading enterprise CA and managed PKI provider serving large corporates and federal buyers. Competes for the same high-assurance certificate and device-identity spend Beame.io targets with AAL3/IAL3.
• GlobalSign: Established global CA and enterprise PKI provider. Both a competitor in certificate issuance and an active strategic partner of Beame.io for IoT/PKI joint webinars.

Emerging players

• HashiCorp Vault: Secrets management and PKI engine for issuing and rotating certificates. Competes for the developer-platform mindshare Beame.io targets with its on-device key generation and certificate automation.
• Venafi: Machine identity management platform for enterprise TLS, code signing, and IoT certificates. Targets the same enterprise machine-identity and IoT-PKI spend that Beame.io's volume pricing aims to capture.
