secure passphrase generator

Back to search · Not supplied

Description

ppgen generates passphrases using strings of words, long enough to have an arbitrary level of entropy. It can use any dictionary and the best available source of randomness, including PGP's cryptographic RNG if you have version 2.6.2. It is written in portable C, and it is fairly fast.
