tls iwthout sockets

[Trixter aka Bret McDanel]

I have a quirky app that while connection based is not tcp based.  I am
looking for some way to use tls (or something comparable in terms of
peer review, security, etc) for authentication of both ends of the
connection.

Is there an example of how to use gnutls without it managing the socket?

Is there something better than TLS for authentication (may be anonymous
or certificate based) given the fact that it wont be over a tcp link?

Thanks
