UUID v1 Generator
Generate time-based Version 1 UUIDs for unique identification within a specific timeframe.
In-Depth Guide
Everything you need to know
A UUID Version 1 is generated from a time and a node ID (usually the MAC address). Unlike Version 4 which is random, Version 1 is deterministic based on when and where it was created.
Key Characteristics:
- Time-Ordered: Successive UUIDs generated on the same machine are monotonic, making them useful for sorting in databases.
- Uniqueness: Guaranteed unique across space and time due to the combination of clock-seq and node ID.
- Privacy Note: v1 UUIDs leak the time of generation and the MAC address of the generator. Use v4 for anonymous identifiers.
