There are many things that TLS is purported to be a solution for.
Depending on which context I want to replace TLS in, I would be 
using any of several different designs.

Each such thing is far simpler than TLS itself and much much easier 
to implement well.  But none caters for all the use cases people 
believe that TLS serves.
