Persistent Unique Identifier (GUID, UUID, UDID)
/*
UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers)
or IIDs (Interface Identifiers), are 128-bit values guaranteed to be unique. A UUID is
made unique over both space and time by combining a value unique to the computer on which
it was generated—usually the Ethernet hardware address—and a value representing the number
of 100-nanosecond intervals since October 15, 1582 at 00:00:00.

Adding methods to NSData and NSString using categories to provide AES256 encryption on iOS

Important notice

I took down this Gist due to concerns about the security of the encryption/decryption part of this code (see comments below).

Rob Napier (@rnapier) has created a publicly available class that provides similar AES encryption/decryption functionality at https://github.com/rnapier/RNCryptor.
