[Bug 2446] New: Provide an option to show SHA256 fingerprints in a more pronouncable format
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2446
Bug ID: 2446
Summary: Provide an option to show SHA256 fingerprints in a
more pronouncable format
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 7.0p1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh-keygen
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: dfoxfranke at gmail.com
MD5 fingerprints of SSH keys are displayed as colon-separated hex
strings, which is a convenient format for reading them over the phone.
SHA256 fingerprints are displayed as base64, which is much more awkward
because the reader has to specify whether every letter is upper or
lower case, and the absence of grouping characters makes it easy to
lose one's place while reading. Please provide a flag to display them
in an alternative format such as hex, base32, or base36, broken into
reasonable groups.

I don't want to add more options for fingerprints. If you're comparing
fingerprints verbally, you can quite safely ignore the case.
Ignoring case loses at most 1 of 256 bits of uniqueness, so it's still
very safe.
