On Nitrokey Pro's ECC support

On Nitrokey Pro's ECC support

Hi

I was getting myself a smartcard stick and looked for options from [1].
The documentation says that Nitrokey Pro does not support ECC while it
actually does [2]. I was already canceling my order when Jan Suhr, the
CEO of that company, kindly pointed out to me this.

Maybe Konstantin (copied) might be willing to supply an update to the
document to reflect this?

Thanks,

Hello:

I just sent a patch with updates that reflect ECC capabilities in newer 
devices.

Best,

wait around while you twiddle your thumbs... :)

Seriously, though, thanks for doing this,
