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.

[[NonceLocator]] in the [[CapTP]] protocol uses 160-bit Swiss numbers to bootstrap [[live ref]]s in the [[SturdyRef]] and [[three-vat introduction]] cases.
