UUID Information Security Risk Assessment and Protection System Construction
Deeply examines potential risk points of UUIDs in modern application systems from an information security perspective. Detailed analysis of how MAC address and timestamp information that Version-1 UUIDs may leak can be maliciously used for device fingerprinting and user behavior tracking. Explores predictability risks of Version-4 random UUIDs under weak random number generators, and compliance usage strategies under privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Provides enterprise-level UUID security usage standards and technical protection measures.
