Research and implement basic end-to-end encryption for uAgents messages.

This feature will add communication overhead, i.e. latency to agent-to-agent communication so we'll implement it as an opt-out mechanism if an agent developer does not want or need to encrypt the traffic.

To be discussed:

  • On what level do we apply encryption? (Message vs. interaction)
  • What's the decisive factor going to be? (Common secret like DHKE, what key to use, etc.)
  • How to enable configuration for the user
  • How we implicitly handle the messages
