An Identicon is a visual representation of a hash value, usually of the IP address, serving to identify a user of a computer system; compare avatars. The original Identicon is a 9-block graphic, which has been extended to other graphic forms by third parties, some of whom have used MD5 instead of the IP address as the identifier. In summary, an Identicon is a privacy protecting derivative of each user's IP address built into a 9-block image and displayed next to the user's name.

dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • An Identicon is a visual representation of a hash value, usually of the IP address, serving to identify a user of a computer system; compare avatars. The original Identicon is a 9-block graphic, which has been extended to other graphic forms by third parties, some of whom have used MD5 instead of the IP address as the identifier. In summary, an Identicon is a privacy protecting derivative of each user's IP address built into a 9-block image and displayed next to the user's name. A visual representation is thought to be easier to compare than one which uses only numbers, and more importantly, it maintains the person's privacy. The Identicon graphic is relatively unique since it's based on the user's IP, but it is not possible to recover the IP by looking at the Identicon.
  • Un identicon est une représentation visuelle d'un hash, généralement à partir d'une adresse IP, permettant d'identifier un utilisateur de système informatisé, à la manière d'un avatar. La version originale, créé par Don Park en 2007, est une image découpée en 9 blocs; des formes dérivées existent.
