It is possible to upgrade a tcp socket to an ssl socket.

If it is possible, how can I distinct SSL from non SSL connections?

That is the hard part. You must have some scheme to negotiate the upgrade
with the client over plain tcp. (Like STARTTLS, HTTP Connect etc)

ssl:ssl_accept(TcpSocket, SslOptions)  or ssl:connect(TcpSocket,
SslOptions)
make sure the socket is passive ({active, false}) before you make the call.
