encrypting with EC? #5

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to encrypt with EC in python?

AntonKueltz commented 7 years ago

It is possible insofar as there are schemes that support encryption using EC, for example Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme. This package however only aims to support digital signatures and basic curve operations like point addition and multiplication. I'm unaware of a Python package that provides a ECIES implementation.

(Closing this as this package is for digital signatures, not encryption.)
