# Our ID will be composed of the following:
# 6 bytes (48 bits) of millisecond-level timestamp
# 2 bytes (16 bits) of sequence data
#
# The 'sequence data' is intended to be unique within a
# given millisecond, yet obscure the 'serial number' of
# this row.
#
# To do this, we hash the following data:
# * Table name (if provided, skipped if not)
# * Secret salt (should not be guessable)
# * Timestamp (again, millisecond-level granularity)
#
# We then take the first two bytes of that value, and add
# the lowest two bytes of the table ID sequence number
# (`table_name`_id_seq). This means that even if we insert
# two rows at the same millisecond, they will have
# distinct 'sequence data' portions.
#
# If this happens, and an attacker can see both such IDs,
# they can determine which of the two entries was inserted
# first, but not the total number of entries in the table
# (even mod 2**16).
#
# The table name is included in the hash to ensure that
# different tables derive separate sequence bases so rows
# inserted in the same millisecond in different tables do
# not reveal the table ID sequence number for one another.
#
# The secret salt is included in the hash to ensure that
# external users cannot derive the sequence base given the
# timestamp and table name, which would allow them to
# compute the table ID sequence number.
