The server must have or know something that an attacker does not have or
know. Otherwise, there is no way for the client to know that it is talking
to the server, which you have said is a requirement.

So the question is: What would you like to be that something that the server
has or knows that an attacker cannot have or know?

It can be a CA certificate, but it does not have to be.
However, it must be something.
