- OSSP uuid - Universally Unique Identifier
- Version 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)
-
- ABSTRACT
-
- OSSP uuid is a ISO-C:1999 application programming interface (API)
- and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of
- DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and IETF RFC-4122 compliant Universally
- Unique Identifier (UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version
- 1 (time and node based), version 3 (name based, MD5), version 4
- (random number based) and version 5 (name based, SHA-1). Additional
- API bindings are provided for the languages ISO-C++:1998, Perl:5 and
- PHP:4/5. Optional backward compatibility exists for the ISO-C DCE-1.1
- and Perl Data::UUID APIs.
-
- UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood
- of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult
- to guess. They are globally unique identifiers which can be locally
- generated without contacting a global registration authority. UUIDs
- are intended as unique identifiers for both mass tagging objects
- with an extremely short lifetime and to reliably identifying very
- persistent objects across a network.
