// Package identity provides functionality for generating and managing
|
|
// identifiers within a swarm. This includes entity identification, such as for
|
|
// Services, Tasks and Networks but also cryptographically-secure Node identities.

|
|
// 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:
|
|
//
|
|
// id := NewID()
|
|
//
|
|
// If an error occurs while generating the ID, it will panic.
