Bluetooth isn't really all that secure of a protocol... You have to instead implement that at the application layer. (Although you can read about Bluetooth encryption..)
Generating UUIDs is standard practice used all over the place in more than Bluetooth: it's also used in many IDLs to identify interfaces uniquely. Your UUID is basically your app's signature (wrt Bluetooth), if it doesn't match you won't be able to connect.
