title: boost asio ssl simple encryption program
body: <p>I am quite new to secure networking and I am trying to make a simple networking program with <code>boost asio ssl</code> and I have read all of the documentation available and also lots of questions and answers, but no one has yet asked: </p>
  
  <p><strong>Can I make a simple encrypted network using <code>boost asio ssl</code> without all of the certificate and verifying stuff.</strong> Just a public/private key pair on both ends, then some sort of public key exchange (handshake?) and then secure communication? </p>
  
  <p>If I am wrong or mistaken about something, please do correct me. Simple examples would be much appreciated. </p>
