## Class UuidUtil

- java.lang.Object
- - com.hazelcast.util.UuidUtil

-     public final class UuidUtil
      extends Object

  Util class to generate type 4 (pseudo randomly generated) `UUID`.

  Creates `UUID` of different quality of randomness, which are based on cryptographically weak `Random` and strong `SecureRandom` pseudo random number generators.
