Hi all, I was wondering if native English speakers can help me out in finding 'the right' 5 letter words which can be used in an binary to words encoder/decoder, which then can be used with GnuPG encrypted binary files, so that these (preferably small binary blobs) messages can then be send over telephone, radio or as letter/fax.
I already contacted my Golang programmer who wrote me yesterday such an encoder/decoder and I have already created a dictionary with German 5 letter words, which are IMHO easy to speak and they contain no 'offensive' etc. words. The encoder uses for every byte combination [0-255] a single 5 letter word. For sure, this is not so effective as codegroups[1] but IMHO faster to speak and to write down. Here is a very small GnuPG symmetrically encrypted message, run through the encoder: Leser Aroma Algen Angel Album Ahorn Fasan Folie Geste Insel Kreis Umzug Xenia Katze Rille Sinus Gummi Adler Lende Torte Mappe Balsa Sorte Album Insel Venus Quote Lampe Onkel Sinus Laube Anzug Heike Hitze Lager Knauf Gitta Mensa Hitze Haube Wonne Ruder Maler Ampel Mulde Platz Alina Alina Eimer Hecht Blatt Biene Nebel Kraut Erbse Zweig Stadt Zweig Natur Stoff Fleck Pferd Sinus Pudel Wange Wagen Index Leser Teich Pferd Album Seide Tempo Pokal Couch Dauer Nadel Knopf Nager Suppe Boden Anton Ziege Musik Platz Serie Geist Xenia Lurch Platz Sirup Gleis Felge Musik Platz Henne Adler Dogge Kugel Forum Salto Gabel What I need now is kind folks looking here at the 'alpha' wordlist: https://github.com/dwyl/english-words and sieve out with this small Python program, or something else |import fileinput |N = 5 |for line in fileinput.input(): | for word in line.split(): | if len(word) == N: | print word 5 letter words and then manually select the best ones, which native English speakers could easily listen to and write down. Once I have the list I will then create the English version of the software and publish it, along with the German version, on my keybase page.
