UUID

A universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. The term globally unique identifier (GUID) is also used.

This crate generates and inspects UUIDs based on

• RFC 4122
• DCE 1.1

Install

[dependencies]
simid = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["random"] }

Usage

use simid::v4;

println!("{}", v4!())

Security

Do not assume that UUIDs are hard to guess; they should not be used as security capabilities.
