I'm not aware of anything real spectacular, the topic was discussed quite a bit on the messaging mailing list though. https://moderncrypto.org/mail-archive/messaging/2014/thread.html Specifically the threads: Useability of public-key fingerprints Short Auth Strings Word list for English Words We had tried to get a small usability study run in the field: https://github.com/tomrittervg/crypto-usability-study but it kind of petered out. If anyone wanted to use that or build on it though, they're free to. -tom _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
