(Android™) Accept TLS Connection with Client Authentication

Demonstrates how to accept a TLS connection requiring client authentication. This is the case where the TLS client sends a certificate. It is also known as "Two-Way SSL".

    // If accepting an SSL/TLS connection, the SSL handshake is part of the connection
    // establishment process. This involves a few back-and-forth messages between the 
    // client and server to establish algorithms and a shared key to create the secure 
    // channel. The sending and receiving of these messages are governed by the 
    // MaxReadIdleMs and MaxSendIdleMs properties. If these properties are set to 0 
    // (and this is the default unless changed by your application), then the 
    // AcceptNextConnection can hang indefinitely during the SSL handshake process. 
    // Make sure these properties are set to appropriate values before calling AcceptNextConnection.

    // Set a 10 second max for waiting to read/write.  This is for the SSL/TLS handshake establishment.
