Let me agree with Eric: TLS adds things like padding and identifiers that make 
it *impossible* to use a TLS library to get AES, unless that library exposes an 
AES API.

AES can be hard to get right. If you are concerned about naïve users using AES, 
trying to pull it out of a TLS library is a bad way to get to a solution. You 
should look at crypto API's that are more resistant to mistakes and mis-use. 
NaCL, TINK, etc.
