I'm curious what the value users compare actually contains.  it's
interesting that it's only accessible during a call, and only from the
primary device - I'm not sure what would explain that.

The pictures show 48 decimal digits (the left has 46 digits, but that
looks like a typo in a UI mockup).  48 digits could encode just under
160 bits, so it might be a SHA1 hash of something.  But that's a
guess.
