the built-in Cypher randomUUID is just a shortcut for and to

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html#randomUUID--

to which this states

Static factory to retrieve a type 4 (pseudo randomly generated) UUID. The UUID is generated using a cryptographically strong pseudo random number generator.

Thanks for clarification
