Sure, although I'm in contact with the Nitrokey people to get a "nitrokey pro" from them. Getting wider coverage would of course be better! > The numbers are as expected.

In my tests it's faster at doing ECC encryption than the Yubikey 4 in RSA 2048, and only about 4 times slower than the system CPU, which is amazing. Thanks for your response!
