Hello,

I've followed DOCs [1] about how to encrypt message with certificates, when I use EC certificate (see below). I get following error: encryption not supported for this key type

Click to expand

# openssl x509 -in /tmp/cert -text -noout Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 50:c7:7e:79:04:0e:7b:f2:69:39:57:d8:c4:de:46:ea:79:f1:16:ee Signature Algorithm: ecdsa-with-SHA512

Can someone please help me with this? I have installed: M2Crypto v 0.38.0, SWIG Version 4.0.2 on Arch Linux
