Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of representing crytographic values in text form is described. The text representation is formed from words selected from a vocabulary, which may include a collection of pseudowords. The text representations can be further transformed to a paragraph in an apparently grammatically correct form.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of communicating a cryptographic value to a human user, said method comprising: selecting a vocabulary comprising a plurality of pseudowords; representing the cryptographic value as a bit string; converting the bit string to a text using pseudowords selected from said vocabulary based on values of bits in the bit string in accordance with a pre-determined loss-less relationship, wherein the values of a pre-defined number of said bits are used fo…
