@bascule that’s how you can tell the software is secure, the UI text is casually flippant about it -
@0xabad1dea@bascule ..........I'm not sure which is more horrifying: The lack of math by someone trying to do encryption, or the lack of -
@Canageek@0xabad1dea funny thing is they originally claimed their crypto expertise came from them being "maths PhDs" -
@bascule@0xabad1dea Maths is the British term for it, so that itself isn't crazy. Still, 200%?

@bascule@timbray hah I considered something like that in ~2009-10: http://doriantaylor.com/key-continuity-for-kindergarteners … off the cuff (better: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/mjs/ftp/thesis-program/2004/tay,evelyn.pdf … ) -
@doriantaylor@timbray I don't like visual fingerprint comparisons if only because I think it's easier for humans to compare words -
@bascule@timbray hence linking to@dakami's '06 talk where he talks about hash-generated narratives (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/lisa06/tech/slides/kaminsky.pdf … ) -
@doriantaylor@bascule@timbray see also http://ryanc.org/mnemonic/demo2.html … 80bits order independent (still under development) -
@dakami@doriantaylor@timbray 12 words instead of 5 words for another 20-bits entropy... it's a security/UX tradeoff -
@bascule@doriantaylor@timbray yeah, we lose lots of bits modeling user failure modes. -
@dakami@doriantaylor@timbray FWIW@agl__ is doing something similar in Pond
