  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    A file containing this many UUIDs, at 16 bytes per UUID, would be about 43.4 exabytes (37.7 EiB). The smallest number of version-4 UUIDs which must be generated for the probability of finding a collision to be p is approximated by the formula

  3. Unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_identifier

    A unique identifier (UID) is an identifier that is guaranteed to be unique among all identifiers used for those objects and for a specific purpose. [1] The concept was formalized early in the development of computer science and information systems.

  4. List of RFCs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RFCs

    This is a partial list of RFCs (request for comments memoranda). A Request for Comments (RFC) is a publication in a series from the principal technical development and standards-setting bodies for the Internet, most prominently the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

  5. SHA-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

    SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and first published in 2001. [3] [4] They are built using the Merkle–Damgård construction, from a one-way compression function itself built using the Davies–Meyer structure from a specialized block cipher.

  6. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  7. U-form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-form

    U-forms have the following properties: A UUID is defined as an array of bytes that is intended to be unique in the Universe.; Note that these are not limited to the standards for ISO, Microsoft, or DCE UUIDs though those are examples of acceptable sources of UUIDs.

  8. Surrogate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key

    Surrogate keys tend to be a compact data type, such as a four-byte integer. This allows the database to query the single key column faster than it could multiple columns (which are often text - which is even further slower). Furthermore, a non-redundant distribution of keys causes the resulting b-tree index to be completely balanced.

  9. Shrinking generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinking_generator

    The shrinking generator uses two linear-feedback shift registers. One, called the A sequence, generates output bits, while the other, called the S sequence, controls their output. Both A and S are clocked; if the S bit is 1, then the A bit is output; if the S bit is 0, the A bit is discarded, nothing is output, and the registers are clocked again.
