Description
There is a private derive key method. To make the encryption logic in Credo more generic I'd like to separately run ECDH and the encryption logic. If I want to do that now I have to rewrite what ECDH class does as it's not possible to extract the derived key.

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the ECDH class and its private derive-key method, then inspect the wrapper's existing encryption API. Done means callers can obtain the derived key separately and run ECDH independently from the encryption logic, with existing behavior preserved.
