UUID Last modified: Wednesday, April 26, 2006
Short for Universally Unique IDentifier, UUID is a 128-bit value used for identification used in software construction. UUID is the same as GUID (Microsoft) and is part of the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), standardized by the Open Software Foundation (OSF). UUIDs are intended to have a high likelihood of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult to guess. Also known as GUID.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)  Home page of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the protocol engineering and development arm of the Internet. Their page offers information about the organization, as well as links to working groups, topics, mailing lists, meetings, and proceedings. OSSP UUID 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. RFC 4122 A UUID URN Namespace This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name namespace for UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifier), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifier). A UUID is 128 bits long, and requires no central registration process.
