GOAL:
What version of UUID is being generated by OpenEdge functions GENERATE-UUID and GUID?
GOAL:
Can ABL generated UUID compromise privacy and cause security issues ?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
The ABL's UUID is the Version 1 type, and is generated using an IETF based implementation.
It is highly unlikely to represent a security issue because the MAC component used to build
ABL UUID's is hashed with other random sources of information using a one-way algorithm.
Therefore, the MAC code would not be recoverable.
