Hi, I'll answer from this email instead. I was referring to Symmetric-Key Encrypted Session Key Packets (Tag 3) defined in section 5.3. By looking at the source ( openpgp_packet_encryptedsessionkey) I can see a function read packages of this type, but unfortunately no method to create them. We use these in a project where we use a password from where the session key is derived. We are currently using Java BouncyCastle to accomplish this but would like to move over to JS instead.
