An "identicon" is a small 9-block image generated using hashed data, like that of an IP address to visually identify users quickly while still preserving user privacy. http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/2007/01/18/visual-security-9-block-ip-identification There seems to be a couple of variations for PHP, Python etc... is there anything like this pre-packaged for Ruby on Rails? I have looked and been unable to find anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
