<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A [[Swiss number]] is a large unguessable random number ([[Swiss base|or hash]]) which is used to identify an object. We call it a Swiss number since it has the knowledge-is-authority logic loosely attributed to Swiss bank accounts. <br /> <br /> [[NonceLocator]] in the [[CapTP]] protocol uses 160-bit Swiss numbers to bootstrap [[live ref]]s in the [[SturdyRef]] and [[three-vat introduction]] cases.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Swiss base]]</div>
