As I understand it the USN is a 128-bit number easily accessible, however for my purposes 128 bits is just a tad of an overkill, 32 would be about right.
Does anyone know exactly how this number is generated? If it's truly random I can use any of the 32-bit words. If it's an incrementing number generated in the factory I can use the least significant word as it won't roll over in my lifetime.
