How to use secure websocket (wss) in Tornado

I'm new to Tornado and web services in general. In my application, I've Qt/c++ client and python Tornado on server side. The Qt client sends commands in the form of text messages(e.g. "ws://192.121.1.213:8080?function=myfunction?args=params..").Now, I want to use secure web socket i.e. wss in stead of ws. What changes are required on server and client side? Pointer to any online example would be also helpful. Thanks.

Pass the ssl_options argument when constructing your HTTPServer:

ssl_ctx = ssl.create_default_context(ssl.Purpose.CLIENT_AUTH)
ssl_ctx.load_cert_chain(os.path.join(data_dir, "mydomain.crt"),
                        os.path.join(data_dir, "mydomain.key"))
HTTPServer(applicaton, ssl_options=ssl_ctx)
