Do you have a shared secret that only the client and server know?

Why not just secure the TCP connection itself using SSL/TLS?

And you failed to state what mode of operation you plan to use despite the
fact that you were specifically asked. Please don't take this the wrong way,
but just like bridges have to be designed and built by people who know
something about bridges in order to be safe and reliable, so must security
products be designed and built by people who know something about security.
If you don't even know how to ask for what you want or what requirements
need to be stated to be pointed to a solution, it is literally impossible
for your solution to be reliable. A bridge cannot be reliable if it wasn't
designed and specified by experts in bridge design. Period.
