1. Let H = H(PK).
2. Let H' = the first 80 bits of H, considering each octet from
most significant bit to least significant bit.
- 2. Generate a 16-character encoding of H', taking H' 5 bits at
- a time, and mapping each 5-bit value to a character as follows:
- 0..25 map to the characters 'a'...'z', respectively.
- 26..31 map to the characters '0'...'5', respectively.
+ 2. Generate a 16-character encoding of H', using base32 as defined
+ in RFC 3548.
(We only use 80 bits instead of the 160 bits from SHA1 because we don't
need to worry about man-in-the-middle attacks, and because it will make
