Provide display of key fingerprint #368

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Since the application can generate public keys, but on some phones there is no 
easy way of saving pasted text as a real file, it becomes necessary to verify 
the key.

For example, if you send the key to yourself via text message, it has then 
passed through an insecure intermediary.

If there were a feature allowing for quick display of the pubkey fingerprint, 
that might help a bit with doing that verification.

Thanks
