  class << self
    # 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.
