   1 Encryption RPC api allows you to encrypt an arbitrary data bytes with some public key. Only owner of corresponding private key will be able to recover the original data stream.

   3 Example

   5 1. Let's generate new novacoin address first.

  10 2. Then run validateaddress to dump its public key

  12 > validateaddress 4NZFZZS9b8iawVA8sYtHsqNbpq57envuBz
  13 {
  14 "isvalid" : true,
  15 "address" : "4NZFZZS9b8iawVA8sYtHsqNbpq57envuBz",
  16 "ismine" : true,
  17 "watchonly" : false,
  18 "isscript" : false,
  19 "pubkey" : "023ca82f71f40d18f5cf6a696367a4172b87d7b3db5f45086bdb4bd4a3e3e9bde9",
  20 "iscompressed" : true,
  21 "account" : ""
  22 }
  23
  24 3. Trying to encrypt hex representation of "Hello world!" string using this public key.

  29 4. Now we should be able to decrypt that cryptogram into original byte stream.
