- Description
-
Generates and returns a UUID string. This method generates a 128-bit UUID (universal unique identifier) based on a random bit sequence.
The UUID generation algorithm implemented in Kirikiri generates a random bit sequence by collecting environmental noise to some extent, but it is not recommended for use in applications requiring high security. However, it is considered to have an "extremely high probability of not overlapping" with other UUIDs.
