 Collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and binary search lookup performance.

 > Note: All monotonically increasing (auto-increment), and timestamp-based ids share the security issues with Cuid. V4 UUIDs and GUIDs are also insecure because it's possible to predict future values of many random algorithms, and many of them are biased, leading to increased probability of collision.
