Use ecc for encryption in ios

Question

I am trying to implement ecc technique for encryption. I went through the following posts:

which doesn't have any satisfactory solutions.

Now, I am thinking of using a python library
https://github.com/yann2192/pyelliptic

But I am not aware if this would be the better solution for using ecc for encryption as I would still need to figure out a way to use the python library in objc.

Can somebody point me in right direction?

@bad_keypoints I couldn't find any suitable link for using python library in objc — SandeepAggarwal, May 27 '15 at 08:28
What are you trying to use ECC for? Signing? Key exchange? In general I'd recommend NaCl (http://nacl.cr.yp.to/), which I believe has a C implementation, and most of the public key stuff uses elliptic curves. — puzzlepalace, Jun 18 '15 at 07:10

Expanding on @puzzlepalace's comment, you might wanna try Libsodium. They even have a Swift library.

Finally, I made my own library for ECC/ECDSA which is now available on github
