Version 4 would still be more secure in the sense that it doesn’t leak any extra info and as you note it can be generated using a a cryptographically-secure PRNG. With sortable IDs, you could potentially know when some item was generated, which may or may not be useful info, but why take the risk? I think it makes sense to minimise the data that the app or service exposes. With a regular uuid you can control whether you expose or not the creation time, while with sortable ids you can’t. |
