How to generate Uuid based on system MAC address

rakeshthp

Hi,

I want to generate Uuid based on the system's MAC address using Qt. I could not find suitable example to do so. I am able to produce the mac address. Can someone guide me in order to implement this?

Thanks & Regards

i don't quite understand what you want.
the MAC and UUID should both be unique per se.

You want a "mapping" from MAC to UUID?!

What you are looking for is some sort of hashing no? If so you can look at QCryptographicHash

find MAC

    QStringList m_list_mac;
    foreach(QNetworkInterface interface, QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces())
    {
        // Return only the first non-loopback MAC Address
        if (!(interface.flags() & QNetworkInterface::IsLoopBack )&& (interface.flags() & QNetworkInterface::IsUp))
        {
            m_list_mac.append(interface.hardwareAddress());

        }
    }

and used for crypt QCryptographicHash
as recommended raven-worx
