SecureRandom.uuid generates a v4 random UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier).
p SecureRandom.uuid #=> "2d931510-d99f-494a-8c67-87feb05e1594" p SecureRandom.uuid #=> "bad85eb9-0713-4da7-8d36-07a8e4b00eab" p SecureRandom.uuid #=> "62936e70-1815-439b-bf89-8492855a7e6b"
The version 4 UUID is purely random (except the version). It doesn’t contain meaningful information such as MAC address, time, etc.
See RFC 4122 for details of UUID.
