     SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER
     object containing the description of the actually used
     cipher of a connection established with the ssssssssllll object.

     SSL_get_cipher() and SSL_get_cipher_name() are identical
     macros to obtain the name of the currently used cipher.
     SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a macro to obtain the number of
     secret/algorithm bits used and SSL_get_cipher_version()
     returns the protocol name.  See SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) for
     more details.

     SSL_get_current_cipher() returns the cipher actually used or
     NULL, when no session has been established.
