// UnguessableToken is, like Token, a randomly chosen 128-bit value. Unlike
// Token, a new UnguessableToken is always generated at runtime from a
// cryptographically strong random source (or copied or serialized and
// deserialized from another such UnguessableToken). Also unlike Token, the ==
// and != operators are constant time. It can be used as part of a larger
// aggregate type, or as an ID in and of itself.
//
// An UnguessableToken is a strong *bearer token*. Bearer tokens are like HTTP
// cookies: if a caller has the token, the callee thereby considers the caller
// authorized to request the operation the callee performs.
//
// UnguessableToken can be used when the resource associated with the ID needs
// to be protected against manipulation by other untrusted agents in the system,
// and there is no other convenient way to verify the authority of the agent to
// do so (because the resource is part of a table shared across processes, for
// instance). In such a scheme, knowledge of the token value in and of itself is
// sufficient proof of authority to carry out an operation on the associated
// resource.
//
// Use Create() for creating new UnguessableTokens.
//
// NOTE: It is illegal to send empty UnguessableTokens across processes, and
// sending/receiving empty tokens should be treated as a security issue. If
// there is a valid scenario for sending "no token" across processes, use
// absl::optional instead of an empty token.
