Abstract

+ +OSSP uuid is a ISO-C application programming interface (API) and +corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of DCE +1.1 and ISO/IEC 11578:1996 compliant Universally Unique Identifiers +(UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version 1 (time and node +based), version 3 (name based) and version 4 (random number based). + +

+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. + +
