+     encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
+     ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
+     to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
+     into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
+     processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
