I agree with Justin, it shold be be that hard to implement if your TLS

But what about the certificates?

You can do TLS with and without certificates. If you are doing it with
them you can use certificates issued by a CA or with self-signed ones,
you can even use PGP keys as certificates in TLS
(draft-ietf-tls-openpgp-keys-11.txt). If you are using TLS without
certificates you can do anonymous key exchange, use preshared keys for
authentication or use the Secure Remote Password protocol for
authentication.

So I don't think that certificates are a problem ...

Yes. There are TLS cipher-suites that don't require PKI (self-signed or whatever), so we could use those.
