You're wrong.  The "a" in aNULL ciphers stands for "authentication".
These ciphers just do anonymous Diffie-Hellman, but do not authenticate
either party.  They encrypt the traffic just as well as the ciphers
that present certificates that you ignore anyway.

so, the connection/encryption would work, but with aNULL will be
unauthenticated, which means certificates won't be checked?
