    <datatype>
      <name name="active_msgs"/>
      <desc>
      <p>When a TLS/DTLS socket is in active mode (the default), data from the
      socket is delivered to the owner of the socket in the form of
      messages as described above.</p>
      <p>The <c>ssl_passive</c> message is sent only when the socket is in
      <c>{active, N}</c> mode and the counter dropped to 0. It indicates
      that the socket has transitioned to passive (<c>{active, false}</c>) mode.</p>
      </desc>
    </datatype>
      
    <datatype>
      <name name="transport_option"/>
      <desc>
	<p>Defaults to <c>{gen_tcp, tcp, tcp_closed, tcp_error,
	tcp_passive}</c> for TLS (for backward compatibility a four
	tuple will be converted to a five tuple with the last element
	"second_element"_passive) and <c>{gen_udp, udp, udp_closed,
	udp_error}</c> for DTLS (might also be changed to five tuple in
	the future). Can be used to customize the transport layer. The
	tag values should be the values used by the underlying
	transport in its active mode messages. For TLS the callback
	module must implement a reliable transport protocol, behave as
	<c>gen_tcp</c>, and have functions corresponding to
	<c>inet:setopts/2</c>, <c>inet:getopts/2</c>,
	<c>inet:peername/1</c>, <c>inet:sockname/1</c>, and
	<c>inet:port/1</c>.  The callback <c>gen_tcp</c> is treated
	specially and calls <c>inet</c> directly. For DTLS this
	feature must be considered experimental.

	<p>A list of a certificate (or possible a certificate and its

	used to authenticate the client or the server.  The
	certificate key pair that is considered best and matches
	negotiated parameters for the connection will be selected.
	Different signature algorithms are prioritized in the order
	<c> eddsa, ecdsa, rsa_pss_pss, rsa and dsa </c>.  If more than
	one key is supplied for the same signing algorithm (which is
	probably an unusual use case) they will prioritized by
	strength unless it is a so called <c>engine key</c> that will
	be favoured over other keys. As engine keys cannot be
	inspected, supplying more than one engine key will make no
	sense. This offers flexibility to for instance configure a
	newer certificate that is expected to be used in most cases
	and an older but acceptable certificate that will only be used
	to communicate with legacy systems. Note that there is a trade
	off between the induced overhead and the flexibility so
	alternatives should be chosen for good reasons. If the <c>certs_keys</c> option is specified it
	overrides all single certificate and key options. For examples see <seeguide marker="ssl:using_ssl"> the Users Guide</seeguide>

	<note><p> <c>eddsa</c> certificates are only supported by TLS-1.3 that does not support  <c>dsa</c> certificates.

    <datatype>
      <name name="cipher_suites"/>
      <desc>
	<p>A list of cipher suites that should be supported</p>

	<p>The function <seemfa

	can be used to find all cipher suites that

	also exist to help creating customized cipher suite lists.</p>

	<note><p>Note that TLS-1.3 and TLS-1.2 cipher suites are not overlapping
	sets of cipher suites so to support both these versions cipher
	suites from both versions need to be included. Also if the supplied list does
	not comply with the configured versions or cryptolib so that the list becomes empty,
	this option will fallback on its appropriate default value for the configured versions.
	</p></note>

	<p>Non-default cipher suites including anonymous cipher suites (PRE TLS-1.3) are supported for
	interop/testing purposes and may be used by adding them to your cipher suite list.
	Note that they must also be supported/enabled by the peer to actually be used.

	  <p>Explicitly list acceptable signature algorithms for certificates and handshake messages

	  Previously these algorithms where implicitly chosen and partly derived from the cipher suite. </p>

	  <p>In TLS-1.2 a somewhat more explicit negotiation is made possible using a list of

	  <p>In TLS-1.3 these algorithm pairs are
