Crypt::OpenPGP::Words 1.03

Crypt::OpenPGP::Words is a Perl module that allows you to create English-word encodings.

SYNOPSIS

 use Crypt::OpenPGP::Words;
 my @words = Crypt::OpenPGP::Words->encode( $cert->fingerprint );

Crypt::OpenPGP::Words provides routines to convert either octet or hexadecimal strings into a list of English words, using the same algorithm and biometric word lists as used in PGP (see AUTHOR & COPYRIGHTS for source of word lists).

In PGP this is often used for creating memorable fingerprints, the idea being that it is easier to associate a list of words with one's key than a string of hex digits. See the fingerprint_words method in Crypt::OpenPGP::Certificate for an interface to word fingerprints.
