I emailed Dmitry Skiba and actually got a response

Hi,

Actually I don't know nothing about cryptography, I just ported that code from C to Java many years ago. So I can't really answer your question.

Regards,
Dmitry

Shocked

- original written by Bernstein in qhasm
- he ported it: http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html / http://cr.yp.to/ecdh/curve25519-20050915.tar.gz
- Matthijs van Duin made it 64bit? Here is a thread discussing it (with a response by Bernstein, it seems): http://sci.crypt.narkive.com/mukCBREz/curve25519-ecdh-portable-c-implementation. Source code not available: http://cds.xs4all.nl:8081/ecdh/curve25519_i64
- Dmitry, who has no knowledge in crypto, ported it to Java

-> We need an audit of our implementation by a big cryptographer!

What's up guys, no luck with the inquiries?

This seems to be Matthijs's implementation, but pared down by another guy:
