+      Modern hypervisors support TLS for encryption and authentication of the
+      migration connections which can be enabled using the
+      <code>VIR_MIGRATE_TLS</code> flag. The <em>qemu</em> hypervisor driver
+      allows users to force use of TLS via the <code>migrate_tls_force</code>
+      knob configured in <code>/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf</code>.
