The mnemonic must encode entropy in a multiple of 32 bits. With more entropy
security is improved but the sentence length increases. We refer to the
initial entropy length as ENT. The recommended size of ENT is 128-256 bits.
initial entropy length as ENT. The allowed size of ENT is 128-256 bits.
First, an initial entropy of ENT bits is generated. A checksum is generated by
taking the first <pre>ENT / 32</pre> bits of its SHA256 hash. This checksum is
