I've been working on a simpler alternative to TLS, mostly for fun and
also as a learning excersize to have a better understanding of how TLS
works.

You can find it here:

Obviously this has not undergone any security audits, so don't use it
for anything serious.

Biggest differences from TLS:

- No certificate authorities; use TOFU instead
- No version negotiation
- No session resumption
- Encrypted server name indication
- Much simpler

Let me know what you think!
