The list is based a longer word list posted to the Internet news group sci.crypt by Peter Kwangjun Suk. An alternative list , edited by Alan Beale, contains fewer Americanisms and obscure words. You can also download the Diceware word list in PostScript format . For more information see the Diceware FAQ . To use the Diceware list you will need one or more dice.
Dice come with many board games and are sold separately at toy, hobby, and magic stores.
Do not use a computer program or electronic dice generator. First, download the complete Diceware list or the alternative Beale list and save it on your computer. Print it out if you like. Next, decide how many words you want in your passphrase. If you are lazy, a four word passphrase will still provide reasonable protection.
