Hi,
I am making a website in ASP.NET and want to be able to have a user profile which can be accessed via a URL with the users id at the end. Unique identifier is obviously a bad choice as it is long and (correct me if i am wrong) not really URL friendly.
I was wondering if i produced a unique idnetifier on the ASP page then hashed it using CRC (or something similar) if it would still be as unique (or even unique at all) as just a GUID.
For example:
The GUID 6f1a7841-190b-4c7a-9f23-98709b6f8848 equals CRC E6DC2D44.
Thanks
