Q: Is there any way to decrypt a Crypto::Box message with only a private key without requiring the public key of the sender?
A: No, and there never will be. This is an integral part of how the Curve25519 algorithm operates, and the mutual authentication it provides is a design principle you should consider whenever using public key cryptography.
A SealedBox allows one to decrypt a box with only a private key and without the public key of the sender, does it not? Do I misunderstand what this FAQ is about?
