问题
In Hyperledger Fabric v1.0, a user can be registered and enrolled in the blockchain network through the MSP (member services provider). The user is given a public key (in the certificate) and a private key after registration and enrollment. The way I understood it, the private key is used by the invoker to sign the transaction, while the public key is used by the peers to verify the signer.
Can I use the same private and public key to encrypt (using the public key) and decrypt (using the private key)?
If yes, what Node.js library do I need to use these keys generated by MSP for encryption and decryption? I tried using the crypto package but it does not work. It produces the following error:
Error: error:0608B096:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init:operation not supported for this keytype
I tried using the crypto package in an RSA public/private key pair generated by OpenSSL (and not MSP) and the encryption/decryption worked.

Hyperledger Fabric 1.0.* does not support RSA keys for signing. Signing keys must be ECDSA keys as this is the only type that is currently supported. For details please see the documentation.
