There's also "Anonymous".  As for DANE, if the destination has TLSA
records, you'll see "Verified" when it works, and "Untrusted" when
it fails.

With the other security levels, you'll sometimes see "Trusted",
when the chain is issued by a trusted CA (if you've configured
any), but either peer checks fail or authentication is not required
("encrypt" or "may").
