Refreshed documentation to reflect the change of default implementation.

Started to improve code documentation by using -spec directive, and
some small refactorings to avoid ugly code.

-  <p>Here we consider the creation of example certificates. 
-    </p>
-
-  <section>
-    <title>The openssl Command</title>
-    <p>The <c>openssl</c> command is a utility that comes with the
-      OpenSSL distribution. It provides a variety of subcommands. Each
-      subcommand is invoked as</p>
-    <code type="none"><![CDATA[
-      openssl subcmd <options and arguments>    ]]></code>
-    <p>where <c>subcmd</c> denotes the subcommand in question.
-      </p>
-    <p>We shall use the following subcommands to create certificates for
-      the purpose of testing Erlang/OTP SSL:
-      </p>
-    <list type="bulleted">
-      <item><em>req</em> to create certificate requests and a
-       self-signed certificates, 
-      </item>
-      <item><em>ca</em> to create certificates from certificate requests.</item>
-    </list>
-    <p>We create the following certificates:
-      </p>
-    <list type="bulleted">
-      <item>the <em>erlangCA</em> root certificate (a self-signed
-       certificate), </item>
-      <item>the <em>otpCA</em> certificate signed by the <em>erlangCA</em>, </item>
-      <item>a client certificate signed by the <em>otpCA</em>, and</item>
-      <item>a server certificate signed by the <em>otpCA</em>.</item>
-    </list>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>The openssl configuration file</title>
-      <p>An <c>openssl</c> configuration file consist of a number of
-        sections, where each section starts with one line containing
-        <c>[ section_name ]</c>, where <c>section_name</c> is the name
-        of the section. The first section of the file is either
-        unnamed, or is named <c>[ default ]</c>. For further details
-        see the OpenSSL config(5) manual page.
-        </p>
-      <p>The required sections for the subcommands we are going to 
-        use are as follows:
-        </p>
-      <table>
-        <row>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">subcommand</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">required/default section</cell>

-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">configuration file option</cell>
-        </row>
-        <row>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">req</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">[req]</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">-</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-config FILE</c></cell>
-        </row>
-        <row>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">ca</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle">[ca]</cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-name section</c></cell>
-          <cell align="left" valign="middle"><c>-config FILE</c></cell>

-        <tcaption>openssl subcommands to use</tcaption>
-      </table>
-    </section>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Creating the Erlang root CA</title>
-      <p>The Erlang root CA is created with the command</p>
-      <code type="none">
-	openssl req -new -x509 -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
-                -keyout /some/path/key.pem -out /some/path/cert.pem </code>
-      <p>where the option <c>-new</c> indicates that we want to create
-        a new certificate request and the option <c>-x509</c> implies
-        that a self-signed certificate is created.
-      </p>
-    </section>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Creating the OTP CA</title>
-      <p>The OTP CA is created by first creating a certificate request
-        with the command</p>
-      <code type="none">
-	openssl req -new -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
-	        -keyout /some/path/key.pem -out /some/path/req.pem      </code>
-      <p>and the ask the Erlang CA to sign it:</p>
-      <code type="none">
-	openssl ca -batch -notext -config /some/path/req.cnf \\
-	        -extensions ca_cert -in /some/path/req.pem -out /some/path/cert.pem      </code>
-      <p>where the option <c>-extensions</c> refers to a section in the
-        configuration file saying that it should create a CA certificate, 
-        and not a plain user certificate. 
-        </p>
-      <p>The <c>client</c> and <c>server</c> certificates are created
-        similarly, except that the option <c>-extensions</c> then has the 
-        value <c>user_cert</c>.  
-        </p>
-    </section>
-  </section>
-
-  <section>
-    <title>An Example</title>
-    <p>The following module <c>create_certs</c> is used by the Erlang/OTP
-      SSL application for generating certificates to be used in tests. The
-      source code is also found in <c>ssl-X.Y.Z/examples/certs/src</c>.
-      </p>
-    <p>The purpose of the <c>create_certs:all/1</c> function is to make
-      it possible to provide from the <c>erl</c> command line, the
-      full path name of the <c>openssl</c> command.
-      </p>
-    <p>Note that the module creates temporary OpenSSL configuration files
-      for the <c>req</c> and <c>ca</c> subcommands.

-    <p>In previous versions of Erlang/OTP SSL it was advised, as a
-      work-around, to set the operating system environment variable

-      certificates. That variable is no longer needed, and is not

-    <p>However, the OpenSSL package does interpret that environment
-      variable. Hence a setting of that variable might have

-    <title>OpenSSL libraries</title>
-    <p>The current implementation of the Erlang SSL application is
-      based on the <em>OpenSSL</em> package version 0.9.7 or higher.
-      There are source and binary releases on the web.
-      </p>
-    <p>Source releases of OpenSSL can be downloaded from the <url href="http://www.openssl.org">OpenSSL</url> project home page,
-      or mirror sites listed there.
-      </p>
-    <p>The same URL also contains links to some compiled binaries and
-      libraries of OpenSSL (see the <c>Related/Binaries</c> menu) of
-      which the <url href="http://www.shininglightpro.com/search.php?searchname=Win32+OpenSSL">Shining Light Productions Win32 and OpenSSL</url> pages are of
-      interest for the Win32 user.
-      </p>
-    <p>For some Unix flavours there are binary packages available
-      on the net. 
-      </p>
-    <p>If you cannot find a suitable binary OpenSSL package, you 
-      have to fetch an OpenSSL source release and compile it. 
-      </p>
-    <p>You then have to compile and install the libraries
-      <c>libcrypto.so</c> and <c>libssl.so</c> (Unix), or the
-      libraries <c>libeay32.dll</c> and <c>ssleay32.dll</c> (Win32).
-      </p>
-    <p>For Unix The <c>ssl_esock</c> port program is delivered linked
-      to OpenSSL libraries in <c>/usr/local/lib</c>, but the default
-      dynamic linking will also accept libraries in <c>/lib</c> and
-      <c>/usr/lib</c>.
-      </p>
-    <p>If that is not applicable to the particular Unix operating
-      system used, the example <c>Makefile</c> in the SSL
-      <c>priv/obj</c> directory, should be used as a guide to
-      relinking the final version of the port program.
-      </p>
-    <p>For <c>Win32</c> it is only required that the libraries can be
-      found from the <c>PATH</c> environment variable, or that they
-      reside in the appropriate <c>SYSTEM32</c> directory; hence no
-      particular relinking is need. Hence no example <c>Makefile</c>
-      for Win32 is provided.</p>

-    </p>
-  <p>For a very good general introduction to SSL and TLS see the book
-    <cite id="rescorla"></cite>.
-    </p>

-  <list type="bulleted">
-    <item>Two types of connections - connection: handshake, data transfer, and

-  <section>
-    <title>SSL Connections</title>
-    <p>The SSL protocol is implemented on top of the TCP/IP protocol.
-      From an endpoint view it also has the same type of connections
-      as that protocol, almost always created by calls to socket
-      interface functions <em>listen</em>, <em>accept</em> and
-      <em>connect</em>. The endpoints are <em>servers</em> and
-      <em>clients</em>.
-      </p>
-    <p>A <em>server</em><em>listen</em>s for connections on a
-      specific address and port. This is done once. The server then
-      <em>accept</em>s each connections on that same address and
-      port. This is typically done indefinitely many times.
-      </p>
-    <p>A <em>client</em> connects to a server on a specific address 
-      and port. For each purpose this is done once.
-      </p>
-    <p>For a plain TCP/IP connection the establishment of a connection
-      (through an accept or a connect) is followed by data transfer between
-      the client and server, finally ended by a connection close. 
-      </p>
-    <p>An SSL connection also consists of data transfer and connection
-      close, However, the data transfer contains encrypted data, and
-      in order to establish the encryption parameters, the data
-      transfer is preceded by an SSL <em>handshake</em>. In this
-      handshake the server plays a dominant role, and the main
-      instrument used in achieving a valid SSL connection is the
-      server's <em>certificate</em>. We consider certificates in the
-      next section, and the SSL handshake in a subsequent section.</p>
-  </section>
+  <p>By default erlang ssl is run over the TCP/IP protocol even
+  though you could plug in an other reliable transport protocol
+  with the same API as gen_tcp.</p>
+  
+  <p>If a client and server wants to use an upgrade mechanism, such as
+  defined by RFC2817, to upgrade a regular TCP/IP connection to a ssl
+  connection the erlang ssl API supports this. This can be useful for
+  things such as supporting HTTP and HTTPS on the same port and
+  implementing virtual hosting.

   <section>
-    <title>Certificates</title>
-    <p>A certificate is similar to a driver's license, or a
-      passport. The holder of the certificate is called the
-      <em>subject</em>.  First of all the certificate identifies the
-      subject in terms of the name of the subject, its postal address,
-      country name, company name (if applicable), etc.
-      </p>
-    <p>Although a driver's license is always issued by a well-known and
-      distinct authority, a certificate may have an <em>issuer</em>
-      that is not so well-known. Therefore a certificate also always
-      contains information on the issuer of the certificate. That
-      information is of the same type as the information on the
-      subject. The issuer of a certificate also signs the certificate
-      with a <em>digital signature</em> (the signature is an inherent
-      part of the certificate), which allow others to verify that the
-      issuer really is the issuer of the certificate.
-      </p>
-    <p>Now that a certificate can be checked by verifying the
-      signature of the issuer, the question is how to trust the
-      issuer. The answer to this question is to require that there is
-      a certificate for the issuer as well. That issuer has in turn an
-      issuer, which must also have a certificate, and so on. This
-      <em>certificate chain</em> has to have en end, which then must
-      be a certificate that is trusted by other means. We shall cover
-      this problem of <em>authentication</em> in a subsequent
-      section.
-      </p>
+    <title>Security overview</title>
+      
+    <p>To achive authentication and privacy the client and server will
+    perform a TLS Handshake procedure before transmitting or receiving
+    any data. During the handshake they agree on a protocol version and
+    cryptographic algorithms, they generate shared secrets using public
+    key cryptographics and optionally authenticate each other with
+    digital certificates.</p>

   <section>
-    <title>Encryption Algorithms</title>
-    <p>An encryption algorithm is a mathematical algorithm for
-      encryption and decryption of messages (arrays of bytes,
-      say). The algorithm as such is always required to be publicly
-      known, otherwise its strength cannot be evaluated, and hence it
-      cannot be used reliably. The secrecy of an encrypted message is
-      not achieved by the secrecy of the algorithm used, but by the
-      secrecy of the <em>keys</em> used as input to the encryption and
-      decryption algorithms. For an account of cryptography in general
-      see <cite id="schneier"></cite>.
-      </p>
-    <p>There are two classes of encryption algorithms: <em>symmetric key</em> algorithms and <em>public key</em> algorithms.  Both
-      types of algorithms are used in the SSL protocol.
-      </p>
-    <p>In the sequel we assume holders of keys keep them secret (except
-      public keys) and that they in that sense are trusted. How a 
-      holder of a secret key is proved to be the one it claims to be
-      is a question of <em>authentication</em>, which, in the context
-      of the SSL protocol, is described in a section further below.
-      </p>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Symmetric Key Algorithms</title>
-      <p>A <em>symmetric key</em> algorithm has one key only. The key
-        is used for both encryption and decryption. Obviously the key
-        of a symmetric key algorithm must always be kept secret by the
-        users of the key. DES is an example of a symmetric key
-        algorithm.
-        </p>
-      <p>Symmetric key algorithms are fast compared to public key
-        algorithms. They are therefore typically used for encrypting
-        bulk data.
-        </p>
-    </section>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Public Key Algorithms</title>
-      <p>A <em>public key</em> algorithm has two keys. Any of the two
-        keys can be used for encryption. A message encrypted with one
-        of the keys, can only be decrypted with the other key. One of
-        the keys is public (known to the world), while the other key
-        is private (i.e. kept secret) by the owner of the two keys.
-        </p>
-      <p>RSA is an example of a public key algorithm.
-        </p>
-      <p>Public key algorithms are slow compared to symmetric key
-        algorithms, and they are therefore seldom used for bulk data
-        encryption. They are therefore only used in cases where the
-        fact that one key is public and the other is private, provides
-        features that cannot be provided by symmetric algorithms.
-        </p>
-    </section>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Digital Signature Algorithms</title>
-      <p>An interesting feature of a public key algorithm is that its
-        public and private keys can both be used for encryption.
-        Anyone can use the public key to encrypt a message, and send
-        that message to the owner of the private key, and be sure of
-        that only the holder of the private key can decrypt the
-        message.
-        </p>
-      <p>On the other hand, the owner of the private key can encrypt a
-        message with the private key, thus obtaining an encrypted
-        message that can decrypted by anyone having the public key.
-        </p>
-      <p>The last approach can be used as a digital signature
-        algorithm.  The holder of the private key signs an array of
-        bytes by performing a specified well-known <em>message digest algorithm</em> to compute a hash of the array, encrypts the
-        hash value with its private key, an then presents the original
-        array, the name of the digest algorithm, and the encryption of
-        the hash value as a <em>signed array of bytes</em>.
-        </p>
-      <p>Now anyone having the public key, can decrypt the encrypted
-        hash value with that key, compute the hash with the specified
-        digest algorithm, and check that the hash values compare equal
-        in order to verify that the original array was indeed signed
-        by the holder of the private key.
-        </p>
-      <p>What we have accounted for so far is by no means all that can
-        be said about digital signatures (see <cite id="schneier"></cite>for
-        further details).
-        </p>
-    </section>
-
-    <section>
-      <title>Message Digests Algorithms</title>
-      <p>A message digest algorithm is a hash function that accepts 
-        an array bytes of arbitrary but finite length of input, and 
-        outputs an array of bytes of fixed length. Such an algorithm
-        is also required to be very hard to invert.  
-        </p>
-      <p>MD5 (16 bytes output) and SHA1 (20 bytes output) are examples
-        of message digest algorithms.
-        </p>
-    </section>
+    <title>Data Privacy and Integrity</title>
+    
+    <p>A <em>symmetric key</em> algorithm has one key only. The key is
+    used for both encryption and decryption. These algoritms are fast
+    compared to public key algorithms (using two keys, a public and a
+    private one) and are therefore typically used for encrypting bulk
+    data.
+    </p>
+    
+    <p>The keys for the symmetric encryption are generated uniquely
+    for each connection and are based on a secret negotiated
+    in the TLS handshake. </p>
+    
+    <p>The TLS handsake protocol and data transfer is run on top of
+    the TLS Record Protocol that uses a keyed-hash MAC (Message
+    Authenticity Code), or HMAC, to protect the message's data
+    integrity. From the TLS RFC "A Message Authentication Code is a
+    one-way hash computed from a message and some secret data. It is
+    difficult to forge without knowing the secret data. Its purpose is
+    to detect if the message has been altered."
+    </p>
+    
   </section>
 
-  <section>
-    <title>SSL Handshake</title>
-    <p>The main purpose of the handshake performed before an an SSL
-      connection is established is to negotiate the encryption
-      algorithm and key to be used for the bulk data transfer between
-      the client and the server. We are writing <em>the</em> key,
-      since the algorithm to choose for bulk encryption one of the
-      symmetric algorithms.
-      </p>
-    <p>There is thus only one key to agree upon, and obviously that
-      key has to be kept secret between the client and the server. To
-      obtain that the handshake has to be encrypted as well.
-      </p>
-    <p>The SSL protocol requires that the server always sends its
-      certificate to the client in the beginning of the handshake. The
-      client then retrieves the server's public key from the
-      certificate, which means that the client can use the server's
-      public key to encrypt messages to the server, and the server can
-      decrypt those messages with its private key. Similarly, the
-      server can encrypt messages to the client with its private key,
-      and the client can decrypt messages with the server's public
-      key. It is thus is with the server's public and private keys
-      that messages in the handshake are encrypted and decrypted, and
-      hence the key agreed upon for symmetric encryption of bulk data
-      can be kept secret (there are more things to consider to really
-      keep it secret, see <cite id="rescorla"></cite>).
-      </p>
-    <p>The above indicates that the server does not care who is
-      connecting, and that only the client has the possibility to
-      properly identify the server based on the server's certificate.
-      That is indeed true in the minimal use of the protocol, but it
-      is possible to instruct the server to request the certificate of
-      the client, in order to have a means to identify the client, but
-      it is by no means required to establish an SSL connection.
-      </p>
-    <p>If a server request the client certificate, it verifies, as a
-      part of the protocol, that the client really holds the private
-      key of the certificate by sending the client a string of bytes
-      to encrypt with its private key, which the server then decrypts
-      with the client's public key, the result of which is compared
-      with the original string of bytes (a similar procedure is always
-      performed by the client when it has received the server's
-      certificate).
-      </p>
-    <p>The way clients and servers <em>authenticate</em> each other,
-      i.e. proves that their respective peers are what they claim to
-      be, is the topic of the next section.

+     <title>Authentication of Sender</title>
+      
+     <p>Authentication of the sender is done by public key path
+     validation as defined in RFC 3280. Simplified that means that
+     each certificate in the certificate chain is issued by the one
+     before, the certificates attributes are valid ones, and the
+     root cert is a trusted cert that is present in the trusted
+     certs database kept by the peer.</p>
+     
+     <p>The server will always send a certificate chain as part of
+     the TLS handshake, but the client will only send one if
+     the server requests it. If the client does not have
+     an appropriate certificate it may send an "empty" certificate
+     to the server.</p>
+     
+     <p>The client may choose to accept some path evaluation errors
+     for instance a web browser may ask the user if they want to
+     accept an unknown CA root certificate. The server, if it request
+     a certificate, will on the other hand not accept any path validation
+     errors. It is configurable if the server should accept
+     or reject an "empty" certificate as response to
+     a certificate request.</p>

+     <title>TLS Sessions</title>
+     
+     <p>From the TLS RFC "A TLS session is an association between a
+     client and a server.  Sessions are created by the handshake
+     protocol. Sessions define a set of cryptographic security
+     parameters, which can be shared among multiple
+     connections. Sessions are used to avoid the expensive negotiation
+     of new security parameters for each connection."</p>
 
-  <section>
-    <title>Authentication</title>
-    <p>As we have already seen the reception of a certificate from a
-      peer is not enough to prove that the peer is authentic. More
-      certificates are needed, and we have to consider how certificates
-      are issued and on what grounds.
-      </p>
-    <p>Certificates are issued by <em>certification authorities</em>
-      (<em>CA</em>s) only. They issue certificates both for other CAs
-      and ordinary users (which are not CAs). 
-      </p>
-    <p>Certain CAs are <em>top CAs</em>, i.e. they do not have a
-      certificate issued by another CA. Instead they issue their own
-      certificate, where the subject and issuer part of the
-      certificate are identical (such a certificate is called a
-      self-signed certificate). A top CA has to be well-known, and has
-      to have a publicly available policy telling on what grounds it
-      issues certificates. 
-      </p>
-    <p>There are a handful of top CAs in the world. You can examine the
-      certificates of several of them by clicking through the menus of
-      your web browser. 
-      </p>
-    <p>A top CA typically issues certificates for other CAs, called
-      <em>intermediate CAs</em>, but possibly also to ordinary users. Thus
-      the certificates derivable from a top CA constitute a tree, where
-      the leaves of the tree are ordinary user certificates. 
-      </p>
-    <p>A <em>certificate chain</em> is an ordered sequence of
-      certificates, <c>C1, C2, ..., Cn</c>, say, where <c>C1</c> is a
-      top CA certificate, and where <c>Cn</c> is an ordinary user
-      certificate, and where the holder of <c>C1</c> is the issuer of
-      <c>C2</c>, the holder of <c>C2</c> is the issuer of <c>C3</c>,
-      ..., and the holder of <c>Cn-1</c> is the issuer of <c>Cn</c>,
-      the ordinary user certificate. The holders of <c>C2, C3, ..., Cn-1</c> are then intermediate CAs.
-      </p>
-    <p>Now to verify that a certificate chain is unbroken we have to
-      take the public key from each certificate <c>Ck</c>, and apply
-      that key to decrypt the signature of certificate <c>Ck-1</c>,
-      thus obtaining the message digest computed by the holder of the
-      <c>Ck</c> certificate, compute the real message digest of the
-      <c>Ck-1</c> certificate and compare the results. If they compare
-      equal the link of the chain between <c>Ck</c> and <c>Ck-1</c> is
-      considered to unbroken. This is done for each link k = 1, 2,
-      ..., n-1. If all links are found to be unbroken, the user
-      certificate <c>Cn</c> is considered authenticated.
-      </p>
+     <p>Session data is by default kept by the ssl application in a
+     memory storage hence session data will be lost at application
+     restart or takeover. Users may define their own callback module
+     to handle session data storage if persistent data storage is
+     required. Session data will also be invalidated after 24 hours
+     from it was saved, for security reasons. It is of course
+     possible to configure the amount of time the session data should be
+     saved.</p>
 
-    <section>
-      <title>Trusted Certificates</title>
-      <p>Now that there is a way to authenticate a certificate by
-        checking that all links of a certificate chain are unbroken,
-        the question is how you can be sure to trust the certificates
-        in the chain, and in particular the top CA certificate of the
-        chain.
-        </p>
-      <p>To provide an answer to that question consider the
-        perspective of a client, which have just received the
-        certificate of the server. In order to authenticate the server
-        the client has to construct a certificate chain and to prove
-        that the chain is unbroken. The client has to have a set of CA
-        certificates (top CA or intermediate CA certificates) not
-        obtained from the server, but obtained by other means. Those
-        certificates are kept <c>locally</c> by the client, and are 
-        trusted by the client.
-        </p>
-      <p>More specifically, the client does not really have to have
-        top CA certificates in its local storage. In order to
-        authenticate a server it is sufficient for the client to
-        posses the trusted certificate of the issuer of the server
-        certificate.
-        </p>
-      <p>Now that is not the whole story. A server can send an
-        (incomplete) certificate chain to its client, and then the
-        task of the client is to construct a certificate chain that
-        begins with a trusted certificate and ends with the server's
-        certificate. (A client can also send a chain to its server, 
-        provided the server requested the client's certificate.)
-        </p>
-      <p>All this means that an unbroken certificate chain begins with
-        a trusted certificate (top CA or not), and ends with the peer
-        certificate. That is the end of the chain is obtained from the
-        peer, but the beginning of the chain is obtained from local
-        storage, which is considered trusted.
-        </p>

-  <p>Here we provide an introduction to using the Erlang/OTP SSL
-    application, which is accessed through the <c>ssl</c> interface
-    module. 
-    </p>
-  <p>We also present example code in the Erlang module
-    <c>client_server</c>, also provided in the directory
-    <c>ssl-X.Y.Z/examples</c>, with source code in <c>src</c> and the
-    compiled module in <c>ebin</c> of that directory.

-    <title>The ssl Module</title>
-    <p>The <c>ssl</c> module provides the user interface to the Erlang/OTP
-      SSL application. The interface functions provided are very similar
-      to those provided by the <c>gen_tcp</c> and <c>inet</c> modules. 
-      </p>
-    <p>Servers use the interface functions <c>listen</c> and
-      <c>accept</c>. The <c>listen</c> function specifies a TCP port
-      to to listen to, and each call to the <c>accept</c> function
-      establishes an incoming connection.
-      </p>
-    <p>Clients use the <c>connect</c> function which specifies the address 
-      and port of a server to connect to, and  a successful call establishes
-      such a connection. 
-      </p>
-    <p>The <c>listen</c> and <c>connect</c> functions have almost all
-      the options that the corresponding functions in <c>gen_tcp/</c> have, 
-      but there are also additional options specific to the SSL protocol. 
-      </p>
-    <p>The most important SSL specific option is the <c>cacertfile</c>
-      option which specifies a local file containing trusted CA
-      certificates which are and used for peer authentication. This
-      option is used by clients and servers in case they want to
-      authenticate their peers.
-      </p>
-    <p>The <c>certfile</c> option specifies a local path to a file
-      containing the certificate of the holder of the connection
-      endpoint. In case of a server endpoint this option is mandatory
-      since the contents of the sever certificate is needed in the
-      the handshake preceding the establishment of a connection. 
-      </p>
-    <p>Similarly, the <c>keyfile</c> option points to a local file
-      containing the private key of the holder of the endpoint. If the
-      <c>certfile</c> option is present, this option has to be
-      specified as well, unless the private key is provided in the
-      same file as specified by the <c>certfile</c> option (a
-      certificate and a private key can thus coexist in the same file).
-      </p>
-    <p>The <c>verify</c> option specifies how the peer should be verified:
-      </p>
-    <taglist>
-      <tag>0</tag>
-      <item>Do not verify the peer,</item>
-      <tag>1</tag>
-      <item>Verify peer,</item>
-      <tag>2</tag>
-      <item>Verify peer, fail the verification if the peer has no 
-       certificate. </item>
-    </taglist>
-    <p>The <c>depth</c> option specifies the maximum length of the
-      verification certificate chain. Depth = 0 means the peer
-      certificate, depth = 1 the CA certificate, depth = 2 the next CA
-      certificate etc. If the verification process does not find a
-      trusted CA certificate within the maximum length, the verification
-      fails.
-      </p>
-    <p>The <c>ciphers</c> option specifies which ciphers to use (a
-      string of colon separated cipher names). To obtain a list of
-      available ciphers, evaluate the <c>ssl:ciphers/0</c> function
-      (the SSL application has to be running). 
-      </p>
