The names are super misleading. First, they're written in a way that's the opposite of how people think about these things (CLIENT_AUTH -> server socket; SERVER_AUTH -> client socket). Second, they're misleading, you can have TLS which is *mutually* authenticated. Third, CLIENT_AUTH is very frequently used for a server socket where the client isn't authenticated (at the TLS layer) at all!

A simple fix would be to add: Purpose.{CLIENT,SERVER}_SOCKET and alias the old names to those values.
