Hello Simon,

very nice. :-) Thank you!

Work is currently underway to make safe curves available in the next Crypto++ version. Assuming that's ready in a reasonable timeframe, I intend to use it for both curve25519-sha256, and curve448-sha512, for our SSH Client and Server.

If Crypto++ takes too long, I will look into alternative implementations.

All,

I have updated ssh-curves to use SHA-512 for Curve448 as requested by
several people.  We are waiting for a Curve448 implementation to confirm
that the description is correct.  Otherwise I am not aware of any open
issues with the document.  All feedback is welcome.
