As much as I support the fight against crypto jargon, I don't think the term "safety number" really works for this. You don't risk a broken leg if you don't verify your safety numbers. The term "safety" is already one metaphor away from the actual issue. At least "fingerprint" directly maps to the idea of an aspect of something that relates to the identity of someone. I dunno, could you call this a "serial number"? The root problem here is that our culture does not have the idea of a cryptographic identity in the first place.
