Thanks for doing this! :) I don't have the time to read the whole thread right now, nor am I as qualified as Florent to speak about the cryptographic aspects. But from a usability point of view, instead of a password which contains completely random letters, you could consider something like Bitcoin's BIP39: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/04875c6d6e6c066377b14f056159a65e2db00254/bip-0039.mediawiki Basically it uses a set of sufficiently easy and distinct English words to encode the key. So it gives you 12 English words to memorize which can be decoded to your key. E.g.: "legal winner thank year wave sausage worth useful legal winner thank yellow". Given that Bitcoin is implemented in many languages including Python and Java, and that BIP39 has been around for a long time, it may be very easy to find suitable code to re-use - both in pyFreenet and in the WoT plugin itself, the latter of which I may deal with some day after I'm done with the performance stuff I'm currently working on.
