// The hexadecimal values "a" through "f" are output as lower case characters.
//
// Note: for security reason, we should always generate version 4 UUID that use a scheme relying only on random numbers.
// This algorithm sets the version number as well as two reserved bits. All other bits are set using a random or pseudorandom
// data source. Version 4 UUIDs have the form xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx with hexadecimal digits for x and one of 8,
// 9, A, or B for y.
