It's clear (now!) that my initial naive steps were in a bad direction, but I was coming to the topic 'cold' and there was a great deal to learn and understand. Once I got something to work, I stuck with it. It does work, and it provides the level of security I need - I was just hoping to avoid the need to use openssl. The references you kindly provided (particularly the last) seem like they will provide a solution, albeit requiring a level of detailed understanding that I was hoping to avoid...
