Comment on Show HN: CuteUID – Generate Cute UIDs

Comments

I feel like this is how SSH clients should display the server fingerprint.

Is there a theoretical name for the "hash / fingerprint / key -> visual signifier" idea?

I've always thought it was underused in decentralized authentication spaces.

Well, it's been called "randomart" for a while.

Telegram does this for phone calls. Not exactly ssh but both users see the same emoji to show the line is "secure"
