Summary
Adds
sr25519Encryptandsr25519Decryptto@polkadot/util-crypto, implementing ECIES (Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme) over sr25519/Ristretto255.Wire format
Total overhead: 61 bytes.
New API
Why this matters
This enables wallet extensions to implement a
decrypt()method in their signer interface, similar to MetaMask'seth_decrypt. The secret key never leaves the extension — the extension callssr25519Decryptinternally. This is the missing primitive for end-to-end encrypted messaging in the Polkadot ecosystem.New dependency
