+.SS "Public Key Infrastructure Options"
+.IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIprivkey.pem\fR"
+.IQ "\fB\-\-private\-key=\fIprivkey.pem\fR"
+Specifies a PEM file containing the private key used as \fB\*(PN\fR's
+identity for outgoing SSL connections.
+
+.IP "\fB\-c\fR \fIcert.pem\fR"
+.IQ "\fB\-\-certificate=\fIcert.pem\fR"
+Specifies a PEM file containing a certificate that certifies the
+private key specified on \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-\-private\-key\fR to be
+trustworthy. The certificate must be signed by the certificate
+authority (CA) that the peer in SSL connections will use to verify it.
+
+.IP "\fB\-C\fR \fIswitch\-cacert.pem\fR"
+.IQ "\fB\-\-ca\-cert=\fIswitch\-cacert.pem\fR"
+Specifies a PEM file containing the CA certificate that \fB\*(PN\fR
+should use to verify certificates presented to it by SSL peers. (This
+may be the same certificate that SSL peers use to verify the
+certificate specified on \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-\-certificate\fR, or it may
+beq a different one, depending on the PKI design in use.)
