Just use the standard CFStream APIs to enable SSL. In a nutshell, you do this 
by setting the stream property kCFStreamPropertySSLSettings to a dictionary 
containing the specific settings. Once you do that, it’s all transparent: just 
open the streams and send/receive data.

CFSocketStream.h declares all the necessary constants, with doc-comments, and I 
know Apple’s documentation explains in detail how to do all this, though I 
don’t have any URLs handy.

(At a lower level you can use the SecureTransport API to do the SSL handshake 
and encryption explicitly, although it’s a lot more complex so I don’t think 
you’d want to, unless for some reason it makes it easier to replace your old 
SSL implementation.)

Don’t search for “ATS”, just search for “SSL"; the APIs for this have been 
around as long as OS X. There’s no programmatic API to ATS; the only change is 
that SSL is now required by default, and that there are some Info.plist keys to 
opt out of some of the requirements.
