I have seldom done low-level OpenSSL programming, but have implemented
many server based programs. The server application that does an 'accept'
on a socket is responsible for the communications on the socket, including
any timeouts or recognition of stale communication. Therefore the socket

does a listen() on a port and keeps track of what listens are secure/SSL
listens. When a peer opens to that IP addr/port, the server sees that it's for
a secure connection and then makes the calls to set up SSL
