#define SSL_FEATURE_ALLOW_ANULL
 

Switches on/off all cipher suites that require anonymous authentication. The feature is turned off by default. Enabling anonymous authentication allows the protocol to select cipher suites which do not authenticate the peer before transmitting data across the SSL connection. This feature may be useful for implementations where only encryption is required.

#define SSL_FEATURE_ALLOW_ENULL
 

Switches on/off all cipher suites that require NULL encryption. The feature is turned off by default. Enabling NULL encryption allows the protocol to select cipher suites which do not encrypt the data before transmitting across the SSL connection. This feature may be useful for implementations where only authentication is required.

#define SSL_FEATURE_DSA
 

Switches on/off all cipher suites that require the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA). The feature is turned on by default. Disabling the DSA prevents the protocol from selecting any cipher suites that use Digital Signature Standard (DSS) authentication.
