New Python Packaging Proposal Aims to Solve Phantom Dependency Problem with SBOMs
PEP 770 proposes adding SBOM support to Python packages to improve transparency and catch hidden non-Python dependencies that security tools often miss.
@stacks/encryption

Encryption functions used by Stacks.js packages.
npm install @stacks/encryption
import { encryptECIES, decryptECIES } from '@stacks/encryption';
import { utf8ToBytes } from '@stacks/common';
const privateKey = 'a5c61c6ca7b3e7e55edee68566aeab22e4da26baa285c7bd10e8d2218aa3b229';

const testString = 'all work and no play makes jack a dull boy';
// Encrypt string with public key
const cipherObj = await encryptECIES(publicKey, utf8ToBytes(testString), true);
// Decrypt the cipher with private key to get the message
