  • What is the current behavior and expected behavior?
    Our application is expecting the encrypt/decrypt to be on the keypair object
  • What is the motivation for changing the behavior?

We currently utilize encrypt/decrypt within out Substrate based project. We are requesting this feature be added back into the polkadot.js code.

The problem is that it is broken - it does not work as intended sharing messages between various crypto types. Hence being removed.

Can you just walk me through how you are using the above and which problem you are solving/usecase you are addressing?

The reason for asking is that, while the sharing-between-different-pairs was broken (with weird cases), there could be other solutions that addresses specific usecases. (For instance vault-like functionality that only encrypts data for known pairs, etc. This is opposed to the "general message sharing" the original tried to do.)
