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.

Security

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