If I'm reading correctly, spiped uses Diffie–Hellman for public key cryptography, while contemporary best practices suggest using elliptic curve crypto with shh (e.g. see [0]). So, for the truly paranoid, it might also provide some protection against crypto attacks too?

Note that the NSA can break 1028-bit DH [1], but spiped uses 2048-bit.
