mneseq

Generates mnemonic sequences from random bytes from stdin.

How does it work

When encoding, the program uses 2048-word dictionary. Each word encodes 11 bits of byte stream provided in stdin. In case the byte stream is divisible by 11 without remainder, we add additional of word before the last word. That way we can decode it back.

Example

$ openssl rand 12 | mnesec
blur-snow-connect-guilt-valid-canyon-inside-square-anxiety

We can decode encoded sequence back with -d option.

$ echo blur-snow-connect-guilt-valid-canyon-inside-square-anxiety \
    | mnesec -d \
    | mnesec
blur-snow-connect-guilt-valid-canyon-inside-square-anxiety
