Sure!  (time permitting [1])

Start by reading the GnuTLS manual:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/index.html

and especially the examples in chapter 7.  The reference API manual
may be useful too:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/reference/gnutls-gnutls.html

Let us know (preferably on the list) if you have any problems or need
some extended API.
