False advertising of cryptographic propertiesΒ #19

Description

Readme says:

128 Bit Crypto Secure

This is a dubios claim at best. Everything is based on UUIDs, which do indeed have 128 bits. But some of these are version identifiers and parity checks.

Last time I checked random UUIDs had about 122 bits of randomness. Time-based and hash-based UUIDs can be rather predictable, depending on how they are generated in a particular scenario.

That said, these "128 Bit UUID Readable" strings do not alter any cryptographic properties that the underlying UUID may or may not have. So why even mention it?
