UUIDs are designed to be unique and **hard to guess**. They are structured in a specific format, divided into five groups represented as 32 hexadecimal digits. There are different versions of UUIDs, each serving different purposes: UUIDs are designed to be unique and **hard to guess**. They are structured in a specific format, divided into five groups represented as 32 hexadecimal digits. There are different versions of UUIDs, each serving different purposes:
* **UUID v1** is time-based, incorporating the timestamp, clock sequence, and node ID (MAC address), but it can potentially expose system information. * **UUID v1** is time-based, incorporating the timestamp, clock sequence, and node ID (MAC address), but it can potentially expose system information.
* **UUID v2** is similar to v1 but includes modifications for local domains (not eidly used). * **UUID v2** is similar to v1 but includes modifications for local domains (not widely used).
* **UUID v3 and v5** generate UUIDs using hash values from namespace and name, with v3 using MD5 and v5 using SHA-1. * **UUID v3 and v5** generate UUIDs using hash values from namespace and name, with v3 using MD5 and v5 using SHA-1.
* **UUID v4** is generated almost entirely randomly, providing a high level of anonymity but with a slight risk of duplicates. * **UUID v4** is generated almost entirely randomly, providing a high level of anonymity but with a slight risk of duplicates.
