KeySee turns a compressed public key into a deterministic visual key.

Think GitHub identicon, but for public keys: same public key in, same key image out.

The design is intentionally visual, not cryptographic proof. It gives humans something recognizable to compare at a glance.

Entropy

• 8 key families: 3 bits
• each family shape: 19 visual bits
• leading 6 hex characters shown as marks: 24 bits
• total visual identity: about 46 bits

46 bits means about 70 trillion possible visual identities. By birthday math, a 50% visual collision is around 10 million keys. At 1 million keys, the collision chance is about 0.7%.
