The PGP word list is a collection of human-readable words used in the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption system for generating passphrases and keys. It was designed to create memorable and easy-to-communicate phrases that can serve as reliable keys. The original word list contains 2,048 distinct words and is often used to create key fingerprints or passphrases that are more secure than random alphanumeric strings while remaining relatively easy for humans to remember and pronounce.
