uniqueid Generates a unique hash/identifier for a system given a set of parameters.
Example usage
use uniqueid;
pub fn main() {
let data = vec![
identifier_data!("Vendor", "Intel"),
identifier_data!("Model", "Xeon E5-2670"),
];
let type_ = identifier_type!(CPU, data);
let identifier = uniqueid::identifier::Identifier::new(Some("HWID"), vec![type_.clone()]);
let output = identifier.build(false); // true = hash
println!("{}", output); // Outputs HWID[CPU(Vendor=Intel, Model=Xeon E5-2670)]
}
Specification
UniqueID uses its own specification.
The spec consists of three parts:
- The Identifier; []
- The IdentifierType; ()
- The IdentifierTypeData; (a=b, ...)
A basic identifier would look like this:
NAME[TYPE(a=b, ...)]
NAME - Optional, defaults to None
TYPE - The type of identifier, e.g. CPU, GPU, etc.
DATA - The data for the identifier, e.g. Vendor=Intel, Model=Xeon E5-2670
This is a very basic example of an identifier, and most use cases will have more types, more data, and hash the output.
Roadmap
- Calculate the HWID based on the system's hardware in the library without needing to specify it manually.
- Add support for other hashing algorithms. (currently only supports SHA3-512)
