  2. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    Instead, it returns a 16-byte 128-bit RAW value based on a host identifier and a process or thread identifier, somewhat similar to a GUID. [34] PostgreSQL contains a UUID datatype [35] and can generate most versions of UUIDs through the use of functions from modules. [36] [37] MySQL provides a UUID function, which generates standard version-1 ...

  3. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    In practice, a salt is usually generated using a Cryptographically Secure PseudoRandom Number Generator. CSPRNGs are designed to produce unpredictable random numbers which can be alphanumeric. While generally discouraged due to lower security, some systems use timestamps or simple counters as a source of salt.

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  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. Blum Blum Shub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum_Blum_Shub

    Blum Blum Shub takes the form + =, where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q.At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from x n+1; the output is commonly either the bit parity of x n+1 or one or more of the least significant bits of x n+1.
