Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project where I need to use the cryptography library 
to encrypt/decrypt a message using an elliptic curve key pair.

The ‘Asymmetric algorithms’ -> ‘RSA’ section of the official documentation 
includes sections on RSA encryption/decryption using the OAEP scheme. In 
contrast, the ‘Asymmetric algorithms’ -> ‘Elliptic curve cryptography’ section 
has no similar operations such as ECIES encryption and decryption.

I’ve written an implementation of the ECIES scheme for elliptic curve key pairs 
which builds on the other primitives available through the cryptography library.

My boss is happy for me to spend some time creating a pull request to share the 
implementation with the community. Do people feel there would be sufficient 
interest for this to be worthwhile? Is there a roadmap for elliptic curve 
functionality that I should be aware of? It would be great to know how the 
project intends to extend the elliptic curve interfaces in the future.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,
Adam
