🔒 [security] Fix insecure randomness for Hardware ID#43
Conversation
The hardware ID generation was using the insecure `random` module, which is not suitable for generating secure identifiers. This commit replaces it with the cryptographically secure `secrets` module while maintaining the exact output format (prefix "V" + 32 uppercase hexadecimal characters). 🎯 **What:** The vulnerability fixed is the use of insecure randomness (via `random.randbytes`) for generating hardware IDs.⚠️ **Risk:** Hardware IDs generated with `random` might be predictable, potentially allowing an attacker to guess or collision identifiers if the random seed is compromised or predictable. 🛡️ **Solution:** Switched to `secrets.token_hex(16).upper()`, which uses the system's best available source of randomness and is recommended for security-sensitive contexts.

This PR fixes a security vulnerability where hardware IDs were generated using the insecure
randommodule. The generation logic has been updated to use thesecretsmodule, ensuring cryptographic security while preserving the existing ID format (a 'V' prefix followed by 32 uppercase hexadecimal characters).Changes:
