Create new funcionality to encrypt and decrypt a text with private key

Please create a new functionality to encrypt and decrypt an arbitrary text with EOS private key and other EOS public key.

Methods signatures (example):

object EncryptText(string text, key publicKey) Encrypts the text with the current Scatter Wallet EOS private key and the passed publicKey and returns the encrypted text.

object DecryptText(string encryptedText, key publicKey) Decrypts the encryptedText with the current Scatter Wallet EOS private key and the passed publicKey and returns the decrypted text.

Please check this example with EOS js API and local keys, should be simple, like include this code inside scatter js lib: https://github.com/b-mail/Documentation/blob/master/javascript-encrypt.md

I am also interested in this issue. I think if Scatter could offer AES encrypt / decrypt methods, it would be great for EOS dapps. We could easily have end-to-end encryption that offers privacy and zero-knowledge for off-blockchain data that is kept in private servers.

You know what. Let me take another look at this once some other more important things ( dawn4, migrations, etc ) are done. I’m reopening this.
