Comment:

 A brief bit of experimentation shows that on the master,
 {{{
 c['slavePortnum'] =
 ''ssl:9999:privateKey=/tmp/key.pem:certKey=/tmp/crt.pem'
 }}}
 works.

 However, the slave is not so lucky -- it instantiates an
 `internet.TCPClient` directly, using separate host and port parameters.

 So this will need some code change on the slave in order to support TLS
 connections.
