UUID does create a globaly unique value (BTW CreateUUID in CF is formatted
incorrectly)
How ever it does not create a unique PAIR of values. Also UUID functions
tend to give sequential values
For example , for I run CreateUUID twice in a row...
1BBF0354-8A59-11D4-955E0050DA7875E0 1BBF0355-8A59-11D4-955E0050DA7875E0
I chould guess the next value is
1BBF0356-8A59-11D4-955E0050DA7875E0 (it was )
so it's not very secure.....
It is the combination of 2 random values that gives a secure key...
