  +      The current DCAU protocol uses an SSL context that contains the logged in
  +      user's credential.  If two servers have different user credentials and do
  +      not have each others' CA certificates, a client can not perform a secure
  +      3rd party transfer between them.  If one of the servers supports DCSC,
  +      a client can tell it to both send and accept the user credential used by
  +      the other server, thus enabling DCAU where it previously was not possible.
  +      If both servers support DCSC, clients that desire higher security may
  +      specify a random, self signed certificate as the DCAU context.
