About UUIDs

A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used to identify information in computer systems. When generated according to standard methods, UUIDs are unique across both space and time, with minimal chance of collisions.

UUID Version 1

Uses the current timestamp and the MAC address of the computer. This makes it possible to trace the UUID back to the computer that generated it.

UUID Version 4

Randomly generated. This is the most common type, offering strong guarantees of uniqueness and anonymity. Best for most general purposes.

Note: For security-critical applications, consider using a cryptographically-secure UUID generation method on your server.
