UUID means 'universally unique identifier'. It is precisely what you described, a commonly applied technique to generate large unique random numbers.
Typically there are built-in data types and functions to generate this in most programming languages. You can even delegate the creation to MySQL natively, with the built-in uuid() function. I would prefer this option. But if you want to do it in another language, you can research how to do that.
