Description | Use the uuid function to genrate a universally unique identifier. The uuid returns a UUID, the type of UUID can be specified. If uuidType is "md5" or "sha1" then it returns a version 3 (md5) or version 5 (sha1) UUID. Here namespace should be the UUID of the namespace in which name sits, and uuidName can be any string. Warning: If you are using UUIDs as a security credential or any part of an authentication scheme, you are recommended to use only the "random" uuidType. |
