Respectfully, a "black box" is not trusted to generate mnemonic
passphrases, the standard is well-defined and generally followed across
wallets.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki#Generating_t=
he_mnemonic
Users can create their own mnemonics in a trustless way following the BIP39
standard published in 2013.
Using any entropy source a user can perform a SHA256 hash on the entropy to
get a 256 bit string, then convert that to binary. Perform another SHA256
hash on the binary, take the first 8 bits and solve for checksum and then
solve the rest of mnemonic words.

> *Motivation*
> Make it easy for users to manually create their seed phrase so that they
> don't have to trust a "black box" and allow for encoding derivation path =
in
> seed phrase to simplify recovery
>
> *How*
> Use every eighth word from the wordlist to generate 16 word phrases with
> 128 bits of entropy (no checksum). The most significant eight bits of ea=
ch
> word are used as entropy. The least significant three bits of each word
> specify the derivation path.
