Diceware
Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is then used to look up a word in a cryptographic word list. In the original Diceware list 43146 corresponds to munch. By generating several words in sequence, a lengthy passphrase can thus be constructed randomly. A Diceware word list is any list of  unique words, preferably ones the user will find easy to spell and to remember. The contents of the word list do not have to be protected or concealed in any way, as the security of a Diceware passphrase is in the number of words selected, and the number of words each selected word could be taken from. Lists have been compiled for several languages, including Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Māori, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. The level of unpredictability of a Diceware passphrase can be easily calculated: each word adds s of entropy to the passphrase (that is,  bits). Originally, in 1995, Diceware creator Arnold Reinhold considered five words () the minimal length needed by average users. However, in 2014 Reinhold started recommending that at least six words () be used. This level of unpredictability assumes that potential attackers know three things: that Diceware has been used to generate the passphrase, the particular word list used, and exactly how many words make up the passphrase. If the attacker has less information, the entropy can be greater than . The above calculations of the Diceware algorithm's entropy assume that, as recommended by Diceware's author, each word is separated by a space. If, instead, words are simply concatenated, the calculated entropy is slightly reduced due to redundancy; for example, the three-word Diceware phrases "in put clammy" and "input clam my" become identical if the spaces are removed. EFF wordlists
The Electronic Frontier Foundation published three alternative English diceware word lists in 2016, further emphasizing ease-of-memorization with a bias against obscure, abstract or otherwise problematic words; one tradeoff is that typical EFF-style passphrases require typing a larger number of characters. Snippet
The original diceware word list consists of a line for each of the  possible five-die combinations. One excerpt:

...
43136	mulct
43141	mule
43142	mull
43143	multi
43144	mum
43145	mummy
43146	munch
43151	mung
... Examples
Diceware wordlist passphrase examples:
 dobbs bella bump flash begin ansi
 easel venom aver flung jon call

EFF wordlist passphrase examples:
 conjoined sterling securely chitchat spinout pelvis
 rice immorally worrisome shopping traverse recharger

The XKCD #936 strip shows a password similar to a Diceware generated one, even if the used wordlist is shorter than the regular -words list used for Diceware. See also

 Brute-force attack
 Key size discusses how many bits of key are considered "secure". The PGP biometric word list uses two lists of 256 words, each word representing 8 bits. S/KEY uses a list of 2,048 words to encode 64-bit numbers as six English words
