GUID Digit Encoder
GUID Digit Encoder is a lightweight utility application designed to securely encode and decode numeric values using GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). It transforms each digit of a number into a pre-defined unique GUID, creating a GUID-based string representation. This provides an obfuscated, non-human-readable version of the number while maintaining the ability to decode it back to its original value.
This technique can be helpful in scenarios where:
You want to obscure numeric identifiers (like order IDs or user IDs) in URLs or logs.
You need a reversible, non-predictable format for simple data masking.
You are working in a system where GUIDs are expected or preferred over numeric values.
?? Encode: Converts any positive integer into a delimiter-separated GUID string.
?? Decode: Reverses the GUID sequence back to the original number.
?? Safe & Reversible: Guarantees that the encoding and decoding processes are lossless.
?? Simple UI: Web interface allows easy testing and understanding of the transformation.
Replacing numeric IDs in client-facing URLs.
Creating non-sequential references for internal audit logs.
Generating tokens that are difficult to guess yet easy to reverse on the backend.
