Startup idea: Human-friendly checksums when talking over the phone. After saying your name/address/email aloud, enter its 4-digit checksum via dialtones so the other party can confirm. Unfortunately this would require solving a fairly large chicken-and-egg problem.

Actually, adoption might not be too hard: Businesses could start offering support for entering a checksum *if you have one*, and otherwise confirming the usual way. Of course, in a few years there will be no more humans speaking over the phone anyway, just Google Duplex AIs :P
