It is just random? not unique? #7

I'm not sure about your question... anyway, the uniqueness is not guaranteed, like any other random system. It's just a matter or probability

I tested getMediumStrengthGenerator of ircmaxell/random-lib lib, and I used 5 processes to generate random string (length => 8), every process generate 100,000 strings, I didn't find any same string in all random strings(500,000).
