Misleading Function Prototype

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the package github.com/ssv-labs/ssv/utils/rsaencryption, the following function is
defined:
// DecodeKey with secret key (rsa) and hash (base64), return the decrypted key
func DecodeKey(sk *rsa.PrivateKey, hash []byte) ([]byte, error) {
decryptedKey, err := rsa.DecryptPKCS1v15(rand.Reader, sk, hash)
if err != nil {
return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "could not decrypt key")
}
return decryptedKey, nil
}
Describe the solution you'd like
Rather than simply a decoding function, it is a decryption function. Its hash argument is not a hash but a
ciphertext. This is confusing for readers, who have to check the implementation of the function to find out
that it is in fact performing PKCS1v1.5 decryption.
