You can configure the useSSl, requireSSL, and verifyServerCertificate properties of a DataSource by using Java based configuration. The addDataSourceProperty method of the DataSource class gives you the ability, as shown in the below code snippet (you can replace HikariDataSource with a C3p0 instance)

MySQL Connector/J exposes configuration properties for key stores (e.g. trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl), so I assume that addDataSourceProperty can be used for these properties too.

I do not know if the XML configuration schema provides a tag that corresponds to addDataSourceProperty.

public DataSource createPslDataSource(final MyDataSourceProperties myDataSourceProperties) {

    HikariDataSource dataSource = new HikariDataSource();

    dataSource.addDataSourceProperty("useSSL", true);
    dataSource.addDataSourceProperty("requireSSL", true);
    dataSource.addDataSourceProperty("verifyServerCertificate", true);

    dataSource.setJdbcUrl(myDataSourceProperties.getJdbcUrl());
    dataSource.setUsername(myDataSourceProperties.getUsername());
    dataSource.setPassword(myDataSourceProperties.getPassword());

    return dataSource;
}
