- ## Method Details

  - ### appendFormattedByte

    public static void appendFormattedByte(Appendable buffer, byte byteValue)
    Prints a byte value to a StringBuffer as a double digit hex value.
    Since:
      1.2 Since 3.0 signature has changed to take Appendable argument.

  - ### pseudoUniqueByteSequence

    public static byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence(int length)
    Parameters:
      `length` - the length of returned byte[]
    Returns:
      A pseudo-unique byte array of the specified length. Length must be at least 16 bytes, or an exception is thrown.
    Since:
      1.0.2

  - ### pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence

    public static byte[] pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence(int length)

  - ### pseudoUniqueByteSequence8

    public static final byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence8()

  - ### pseudoUniqueByteSequence16

    public static final byte[] pseudoUniqueByteSequence16()
    Returns:
      A pseudo unique 16-byte array.

  - ### pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence16

    public static byte[] pseudoUniqueSecureByteSequence16()
    Returns:
      A pseudo unique digested 16-byte array.
