The primary goal of this patch/hack is to enable public key lookups via a method other than the authorized_keys file. We wanted it to be flexible, so the patch executes a 3rd party program or script. This way, you can implement your public key lookups in any language backed by any dataset – Ruby, Perl, Python, bash, MySQL, Postgres, CouchDB, etc. Our motivation to write this patch is to support large git repositories, but other creative uses may come about.

Chroma-Hash takes an MD5 hash of the input and uses that to compute the colors in the visualization. The MD5 hash is non-reversible, so in principle no-one could know the password from just reading the colors. The same password will display the same sequence each time. So, for instance, one can learn to expect "blue, red, pink"; when other colors appear, the password has been repeated wrongly.

Apple's .plist files have two equivalent on-disk representations, binary and xml. These snippets help keep binary crap out of your repository.
