Bug#850062: ITP: golang-github-nebulouslabs-entropy-mnemonics -- Human readable entropy.



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Free Ekanayaka <freee@debian.org>

* Package name    : golang-github-nebulouslabs-entropy-mnemonics
  Version         : 0.0~git20150811.0.6afa27f-1
  Upstream Author : Nebulous
* URL             : https://github.com/nebulouslabs/entropy-mnemonics

  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : Human readable entropy.

Converts byte slices into human-friendly phrases. The primary purpose
is to assist with the generation of cryptographically secure
passwords. The threshold for a cryptographically secure password is
between 128 and 256 bits, which when converted to base64 is 22-43
random characters. Random characters are both difficult to remember and
subject to error when spoken or written down; slurring or sloppy
handwriting can make it difficult to recover a password.

This package is a dependency of the sia storage daemon (see ITP
#847706).
