nrf52 sdk15 text encryption and decryption using ecdh

[albhee]

Hi There, 
i am pretty new to this ble and arm world. i was exploring my nrf52dk with sdk15 cryptography libraries. 
I have looked into an example of Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH). There i can understand how to generate private and public key. and how to compute shared secret. But i can't see how to encrypt let's say a string with a public key and decrypt it back to the string using the private key. can anyone help me with maybe silly problem ?

You can find the source code and the project file of the example in the following folder: <InstallFolder>\examples\crypto\nrf_crypto\ecdh

Thanks

Ok. Got it. So, ecdh is used only to calculate secret key on both side. I need to use this calculated secret key to encrypt data using other encryption schemes. My understanding was i can encrypt data using someone else public key and the other party can decrypt that using his private key. However, thank you so much.
