About GUID

A globally unique identifier (GUID) is a unique reference number used as an identifier in computer software. The term GUID also is used for Microsoft’s implementation of the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) standard.

The value of a GUID is represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string, such as {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}, and is usually stored as a 128-bit integer. The total number of unique keys is 2128 or 3.4×1038. This number is so large that the probability of the same number being generated randomly twice is negligible.
