This is incredibly dumb. The three way handshake and initial key exchange is your certificate.

That would be fine if browsers didn't throw up giant warning signs when using self-signed certificates.

That sounds like a defect in the browser design.

Or maybe it's because you actually want an identity to verify (which an IP address is not.)
