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