Class SSLContext

Encapsulates the configuration for an SSL tunnel.

Note that when creating an SSLContext with SSLContextKind.client, the peerValidationMode will be set to SSLPeerValidationMode.trustedCert, but no trusted certificate authorities are added by default. Use useTrustedCertificateFile to add those.
