An option to spell out the digits and letters in a hex fingerprint would be a good start, so that you end up with some sort of semi-standard spellings (alpha/bravo/charlie/delta/echo/foxtrott is pretty consistent across English-speaking locales), instead of apple/banana/citrus and its variants. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
