The "words" are not necessarily real words, but +they look more like words than a string of hex characters. + +Bubble babble fingerprinting is used by the SSH2 suite +(and, consequently, by Net::SSH::Perl, the Perl SSH +implementation) to display easy-to-remember key fingerprints. +The key (a DSA or RSA key) is converted into a textual form, +digested using Digest::SHA1, and run through bubblebabble +to create the key fingerprint. |
