No current plans to, but would accept a PR to re-add it. It was sort of contrived in the first place, and we weren't really sure how much usage in the wild it got.

@Roasbeef pls i would like to take this up.

SGTM!

Here're some relevant resources:

• https://cryptobook.nakov.com/asymmetric-key-ciphers/ecies-public-key-encryption
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Encryption_Scheme

@Roasbeef thanks for the resources. can you pls assign it to me ?

We don't really assign issues. You have shown interest in tackling this, which is usually enough to signal to other people that work is in progress. And once you open a (draft) PR, it's clear to everyone you're working on it.

alright @guggero . thanks for the feedback

@Roasbeef @guggero I'm done. pls help review #2130
