Use -proto_dist ssl, start your 'erl' with parameters like these :

erl -name foo -proto_dist inet_ssl \
	-ssl_dist_opt client_certfile /path/to/cert.comb \
	-ssl_dist_opt server_certfile /path/to/cert.comb \
	-ssl_dist_opt verify 2

cert.comb is a file containing a .pem file plus a .key-file,

  $ cat cert.comb 
  Certificate:
      Data:
          Version: 3 (0x2)
  ...
  -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
  ...
  -----END CERTIFICATE-----
  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  ...
  -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  $
