+CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY
+----------------
+
+Specify the default value for the :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` and
+:command:`file(UPLOAD)` commands' ``TLS_VERIFY`` options.
+If not set, the default is *off*.
+
+This setting is also used by the :module:`ExternalProject` module
+for internal calls to :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`.
+
+TLS verification can help provide confidence that one is connecting
+to the desired server. When downloading known content, one should
+also use file hashes to verify it.
