This comment is cringe enough that it is making the rounds on multiple Slacks. It's fine that you've never heard of Curve448. That just means you're not a cryptography engineer. Most people aren't! But if you're not one of those, be a little careful about connecting the dots to things like "Crypto AG". Saying "I've never heard of Curve448, it sounds sketchy" is a little like a systems programmer saying "I've never heard of Paxos before, it sounds sketchy". Most systems programmers are never going to do anything with Paxos. But all the competent ones can look it up in about 20 seconds and confirm that it isn't a conspiracy.
