Abstract:
This document describes means of generating Uniform Data Fingerprint
(UDF) values and their presentation as text sequences and as URIs.
Cryptographic digests provide a means of uniquely identifying static
data without the need for a registration authority. A fingerprint is
a form of presenting a cryptographic digest that makes it suitable
for use in applications where human readability is required. The UDF
fingerprint format improves over existing formats through the
introduction of a compact algorithm identifier affording an
intentionally limited choice of digest algorithm and the inclusion of
an IANA registered Content-Type identifier within the scope of the
digest input to allow the use of a single fingerprint format in
multiple application domains.
Alternative means of rendering fingerprint values are considered
including machine readable codes, word and image lists.
