We would like to create an application that encrypts/decrypts small pieces of information (that themselves will be used as passphrases for some larger synchronious encryption/decryption scheme).

What would be the best way to do this using MetaMask? Is it at all possible, or does MetaMask currently really only expose the functionality to sign/sendTransaction?

We currently only support signing and do not support encryption/decryption
more general key mgmt is on our roadmap

in the mean time take a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto
