I looked at this option, and it seems good on that level (not having to
worry about the CA), but the APIs i've seen (there are at least two

shell connection open, which would not be appropriate for my application.

My need is for an authenticated, encrypted client-server connection
without any requirement for X.509 infrastructure. Is there a way to use
JSSE or something similar in non-SSL mode?


What if you use self-signed certificates?
This is basically the same than using simple RSA public key authentication like SSH does.
