==Usability== Internally, S/KEY uses [[64-bit]] numbers. For human [[usability]] purposes, each number is mapped to six short words, of one to four characters each, from a publicly accessible 2048-word dictionary. For example, one 64-bit number maps to "ROY HURT SKI FAIL GRIM KNEE".<ref>{{cite journal | url = https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2289#page-4-19 | title = Appendix D: Dictionary for Converting Between 6-Word and Binary Formats | journal = A One-Time Password System | first1 = Neil | last1 = Haller | first2 = Craig | last2 = Metz | first3 = Philip J. | last3 = Nesser II | first4 = Mike | last4 = Straw | year = 1998 | publisher = [[IETF]] | doi = 10.17487/RFC2289 | doi-access = free | url-access = subscription }}</ref>
