/*
* In the multitude of java GUID generators, I found none that
* guaranteed randomness. GUIDs are guaranteed to be globally unique
* by using ethernet MACs, IP addresses, time elements, and sequential
* numbers. GUIDs are not expected to be random and most often are
* easy/possible to guess given a sample from a given generator.
* SQL Server, for example generates GUID that are unique but
* sequencial within a given instance.
*
* GUIDs can be used as security devices to hide things such as
* files within a filesystem where listings are unavailable (e.g. files
* that are served up from a Web server with indexing turned off).
* This may be desireable in cases where standard authentication is not
* appropriate. In this scenario, the RandomGUIDs are used as directories.
* Another example is the use of GUIDs for primary keys in a database
* where you want to ensure that the keys are secret. Random GUIDs can
* then be used in a URL to prevent hackers (or users) from accessing
* records by guessing or simply by incrementing sequential numbers.
*
* There are many other possiblities of using GUIDs in the realm of
* security and encryption where the element of randomness is important.
* This class was written for these purposes but can also be used as a
* general purpose GUID generator as well.
*
* RandomGUID generates truly random GUIDs by using the system's
* IP address (name/IP), system time in milliseconds (as an integer),
* and a very large random number joined together in a single String
* that is passed through an MD5 hash. The IP address and system time
* make the MD5 seed globally unique and the random number guarantees
* that the generated GUIDs will have no discernable pattern and
* cannot be guessed given any number of previously generated GUIDs.
* It is generally not possible to access the seed information (IP, time,
* random number) from the resulting GUIDs as the MD5 hash algorithm
* provides one way encryption.
*
* ----> Security of RandomGUID: <-----
* RandomGUID can be called one of two ways -- with the basic java Random
* number generator or a cryptographically strong random generator
* (SecureRandom). The choice is offered because the secure random
* generator takes about 3.5 times longer to generate its random numbers
* and this performance hit may not be worth the added security
* especially considering the basic generator is seeded with a
* cryptographically strong random seed.
*
* Seeding the basic generator in this way effectively decouples
* the random numbers from the time component making it virtually impossible
* to predict the random number component even if one had absolute knowledge
* of the System time. Thanks to Ashutosh Narhari for the suggestion
* of using the static method to prime the basic random generator.
*
* Using the secure random option, this class compies with the statistical
* random number generator tests specified in FIPS 140-2, Security
* Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, secition 4.9.1.
*
* I converted all the pieces of the seed to a String before handing
* it over to the MD5 hash so that you could print it out to make
* sure it contains the data you expect to see and to give a nice
* warm fuzzy. If you need better performance, you may want to stick
* to byte[] arrays.
*
* I believe that it is important that the algorithm for
* generating random GUIDs be open for inspection and modification.
* This class is free for all uses.
