About UUIDs

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. Also known as GUID (Globally Unique Identifier).

UUID Versions:

  • Version 1: Time-based with MAC address (reveals when and where created)
  • Version 3: Name-based using MD5 hash (deterministic, same input = same output)
  • Version 4: Random or pseudo-random (most common, recommended for general use)
  • Version 5: Name-based using SHA-1 hash (deterministic, more secure than v3)

Format:

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Mxxx-Nxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Where M is the version (1-5) and N indicates the variant.
