Is my auto-update standard reasonable?

I’m looking to come up with a standard for how to implement a system that will automatically update software. As such, there is no actual programming (yet), but I still want to make sure my standard is robust before moving on to the stage where I build a proof-of-concept prototype.

TLS alternatives that do not require a central authority?

I am creating a peer to peer program that runs on client computers connecting to other clients. I will be using Boost.Asio. The only options that I am aware of for securing these connections is using TLS, but it is not practical for every client to have their own certificate and self signed certificates are apparently insecure. What other cryptographic technologies are available that do not require registration with a central authority? Especially ones that would be easy to integrate with these technologies, i.e. there are programmatic implementations available.
