/*
|

The current timestamp is sha1 hashed, then that hash value is converted
|
||||
into a number system represented by a 'legible' alphabet.
|
||||
|
||||
This provides several enhancements over the default random keygen.
|
||||
1) Keys are unlikely to collide due to using timestamp as seed
|
||||
2) Keys will display more entropy due to sha1-hashing
|
||||
3) Similar-looking letters have been removed from alphabet
