Providing access to the Public Key of a wallet and the ability to decrypt messages encrypted with that public key will create a good platform for having “p2p” on-chain encrypted communication channel.

Hi 0xOZ,
Thanks for reaching out with your interest in enabling “p2p” on-chain encrypted communication using Web3Auth. It seems like you’re exploring how to access a public key for encrypting messages.
Currently, Web3Auth focuses on user authentication and wallet management rather than directly facilitating encryption and decryption processes. However, if you’re looking into creating such a feature, you might need to extract the public key from the user’s wallet and use additional libraries or services to handle the encryption and decryption.
Here are a few steps you could consider:
Extract Public Key: Once a user logs in via Web3Auth, you can use Web3.js or Ethers.js to access their wallet public key.
Use Encryption Libraries: Libraries like eth-crypto or ethereumjs-util can be used to handle encryption and decryption with the public key.
Since this is a feature exploration, there isn’t a direct example or support from Web3Auth for this use case. However, community feedback and suggestions like yours are valuable for shaping future enhancements.
