Diceware

This generator supports all the official lists linked on diceware.com. Every word list is 7,776 entries meant to be used with 5 fair six-sided dice. Each word provides about 12.9248-bits of entropy. As of Aug 25, 2017, the support list is as follows:

  • Basque (Euskara)
  • Alan Beale
  • Bulgarian (May contain errors- OCR scan from images in PDF)
  • Catalan (UTF-8)
  • Chinese (Non-Wubi list)
  • Czech
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • English (the original list- Default)
  • Esperanto
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese (Romaji)
  • Maori
  • Norwegian
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Slovenian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Turkish

EFF

In the middle of 2016, the Electronic Frontier Foundation created their own Diceware lists that use more frequently used English words that are easier to remember and type than the original Diceware word list.

They created three word lists:

  • The long list- Mimics the Diceware word list with 7,776 entries to be used with 5 fair six-sided dice. The words average a length of around 7 characters per word. Each word provides about 12.9248-bits of entropy.
  • The short list (Default)- A shorter word list with 1,296 entries to be used with 4 fair six-sided dice. Each word has a maximum length of 5 characters. Each word provides about 10.3399-bits of entropy.
  • The distant list- Another short word list of 1,296 entries, but each word has a minimum edit distance of three. Each word provides about 10.3399-bits of entropy.

Alternate

This is a personal collection of lists of miscellaneous word lists of varying size and purposes for each list. The current list is as follows:

Bitcoin (English)

The Bitcoin word list is designed to be a mnemonic code or sentence for generating deterministic Bitcoin wallets. The list provides 2,048 words which provides exactly 11-bits of entropy per word. As more languages are added to the proposal, some of which are not available in Diceware, I may consider making this its own generator box. The English word list has an edit distance of 4 characters, making it possible for automation systems to autocomplete the words after the first four characters have been typed. The words are also verbally unambiguous, making it desirable for passwords spoken in noisy environments, such as server rooms.

Elvish

This generator is for entertainment value only. The word list consists of 7,776 words, making it suitable for Diceware, and provides about 12.9248-bits of entropy per word. However, because the generator is strictly electronic, and I haven't assigned dice roll values to each word, I may bump this up to 8,192 words providing exactly 13-bits of entropy per word. The word list was built from the Eldamo lexicon.

Klingon

The is another generator that is strictly for entertainment value only. As I say that, I personally know two people who speak (fluent?) Klingon, so maybe this generator will be of value to them. This word list comes from the Klingon Pocket Dictionary, and my word list provides exactly 2,604 unique words from the 3,028 words in the Klingon language. Thus, each word provides about 11.3465-bits of entropy.

PGP (default)

The PGP word list was created to make reading hexadecimal strings easier and phonetically unambiguous. It comprises of exactly 256 words providing exactly 8-bits of entropy per word. This generator works well in noisy environments, such as server rooms, where passwords need to be spoken from one person to another to enter into a physical terminal.
