> In the chat, someone mentioned using a FIPS environment, which disallows the use of insecure cryptographic hash functions, like MD5.
> The {{DataFileWriter}} class uses an MD5 hash of a random UUID and a timestamp to generate what's essentially 16 random bytes.
> This can more easily be done with {{{}SecureRandom{}}}.
