The official website of Diceware does not have a certificate http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html Is it intentional ?

The word list is signed but for someone unfamiliar with crypto an electronic signature is useless while a lock in the address bar is reassuring.

while true, the nice thing about the diceware wordlists is you can scan them. The only thing that would lower the entropy is if there were duplicated words. The lists are in alphabetic and numeric order.
