The common wisdom seems to be that a petname system, as popularized by Zooko's Triangle, can be used to make the human interface to this world of computer/cryptography friendly identifiers. Given that, I thought list members might be interested in the petname tool Firefox extension. The petname tool is a fully functional petname system for SSL secured web sites. It is compatible with existing HTTPS sites, so you can create a petname for your bank. It really is Zooko's Triangle in action.
