This is sort of what TLS is intended to fix, however TLS isn't always appropriate for the task at hand. In this situation, we're talking about a protocol for handling the unreliable connection presented by cellular internet providers - TLS (and partly its UDP cousin DTLS) would cause trouble because it only accepts packets in the order they were sent. TLS would cause a huge amount of overhead in this scenario.
