+/**
+ * @addtogroup ssltls_communication_module SSL/TLS communication module
+ *
+ * The SSL/TLS communication module provides the means to create an SSL/TLS
+ * communication channel.
+ *
+ * The basic provisions are:
+ * - initialise an SSL/TLS context (see \c mbedtls_ssl_init()).
+ * - perform an SSL/TLS handshake (see \c mbedtls_ssl_handshake()).
+ * - read/write (see \c mbedtls_ssl_read() and \c mbedtls_ssl_write()).
+ * - notify a peer that connection is being closed (see \c mbedtls_ssl_close_notify()).
+ *
+ * Many aspects of such a channel are set through parameters and callback
+ * functions:
+ * - the endpoint role: client or server.
+ * - the authentication mode. Should verification take place.
+ * - the Host-to-host communication channel. A TCP/IP module is provided.
+ * - the random number generator (RNG).
+ * - the ciphers to use for encryption/decryption.
+ * - session control functions.
+ * - X.509 parameters for certificate-handling and key exchange.
+ *
+ * This module can be used to create an SSL/TLS server and client and to provide a basic
+ * framework to setup and communicate through an SSL/TLS communication channel.\n
+ * Note that you need to provide for several aspects yourself as mentioned above.
