I have published the latest code at

Yes, REST/HTTP client with the nikita-gui web look.

package org.whispersystems.libsignal;

import junit.framework.TestCase;

import org.whispersystems.libsignal.ecc.Curve;
import org.whispersystems.libsignal.ecc.ECKeyPair;

public class CurveTest extends TestCase {

public void testPureJava() {
assertTrue(Curve.isNative());
}

public void testLargeSignatures() throws InvalidKeyException {
ECKeyPair keys = Curve.generateKeyPair();
byte[] message = new byte[1024 * 1024];
byte[] signature = Curve.calculateSignature(keys.getPrivateKey(), message);

assertTrue(Curve.verifySignature(keys.getPublicKey(), message, signature));

message[0] ^= 0x01;

assertFalse(Curve.verifySignature(keys.getPublicKey(), message, signature));
}

}

Feel free to copy the code from the repository, only issue at the moment is
that it does not build with an old gradle distribution in Android Studio.
