- `minDHkeylen`: Minimum key length of an ephemeral DH parameter to
accept a tls connection. When a server offers an ephemeral DH
parameter of which key length is less than this, the tls
connection is destroyed and throws an error. Default: 1024.

The `callback` parameter will be added as a listener for the
['secureConnect'][] event.
