// A UnguessableToken is an 128-bit token generated from a cryptographically
// strong random source. It can be used as part of a larger aggregate type,
// or as an ID in and of itself.
//
// UnguessableToken can be used to implement "Capability-Based Security".
// In other words, UnguessableToken can be used when the resource associated
// with the ID needs to be protected against manipulation by other untrusted
// agents in the system, and there is no other convenient way to verify the
// authority of the agent to do so (because the resource is part of a table
// shared across processes, for instance). In such a scheme, knowledge of the
// token value in and of itself is sufficient proof of authority to carry out
// an operation against the associated resource.
//
// Use Create() for creating new UnguessableTokens.
//
// NOTE: It is illegal to send empty UnguessableTokens across processes, and
// sending/receiving empty tokens should be treated as a security issue.
// If there is a valid scenario for sending "no token" across processes,
// base::Optional should be used instead of an empty token.
