The paper recommends sentence based fingerprints.<p>I&#x27;ve used rfc1751[0] which is word-based rather than sentence-based, but it&#x27;s pretty convenient. I use it for my password sharing tool[1] which creates prompts that look like<p><pre><code> === secrets.vm === common name: secrets.vm fingerprint: b957e10c998faa9909cff3ba4ec35485d04708c3ecc7481fe14d7f07bc0229cd public key: c15e697e4807793ef8a9461a7b2c6cf2266d1ec1480a594e83b54e7b75e07702 public sign: f1db594eb55fe97657c57f2aa01afd1210a46d42d80d5552ac4d548162d4968e mnemonic: AM ROBE KIT OMEN BATE ICY TROY RON WHAT HIP OMIT SUP LID CLAY AVER LEAR CAVE REEL CAN PAM FAN LUND RIFT ACME does that look right? [y&#x2F;n] </code></pre> where &quot;mnemonic&quot; is the rfc1751 mnemonic of the sha256 of the other fields and is designed to be shouted across a room.<p>I&#x27;d definitely be interested in a standardised sentence-based fingerprinting system akin to rfc1751<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.ietf.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;rfc1751" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tools.ietf.org&#x2F;html&#x2F;rfc1751</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ketralnis&#x2F;secrets" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ketralnis&#x2F;secrets</a>

My WAG at this problem a few years ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.bitcoin.it&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;User:Gmaxwell&#x2F;visual_fingerprint_comparison" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.bitcoin.it&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;User:Gmaxwell&#x2F;visual_fingerprint_...</a>
