Hello Karel,

I do not recommend buying it.
There is a bug in case of someone trying to send you 3DES  encrytped
messages [1][2].
As well it is not really backward compatible and there is no real
documentation how to fix this except of [3]

However Documentation does not state curve25519 but Brainpool [4] (p 32).

best regards

Dirk
