All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable, java.security.Principal, org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable, ID

public class GUID
extends StringID

Globally unique ID implementation class. Uses SecureRandom to create a unique number of given byte length. Default byte length for secure number is 20 bytes. Default algorithm used for creating a SecureRandom instance is SHA1PRNG.
