I have a private key which I would like to encrypt so that storing it locally is safer. I would like to use the commonly used encryption method so that I can decrypt the result with the available tezos client packages. Is there a tool that can do this for me? I can see a lot of info about decrypting, which pytezos can do for example, I want to do the opposite.

  • I want to encrypt a key, not decrypt it. Wouldn't this do the opposite of that I want?
