// Package identity provides functionality for generating and manager
|
|
// identifiers within swarm. This includes entity identification, such as that
|
|
// of Service, Task and Network but also cryptographically-secure Node identity.

|
|
// Random Identifiers
|
|
//
|
|
// Identifiers provided by this package are cryptographically-strong, random
|
|
// 128 bit numbers encoded in Base36. This method is preferred over UUID4 since
|
|
// it requires less storage and leverages the full 128 bits of entropy.
|
|
//
|
|
// Generating an identifier is simple. Simply call the `NewID` function, check
|
|
// the error and proceed:
|
|
//
|
|
// id, err := NewID()
|
|
// if err != nil { /* ... handle it, please ... */ }
|
|
