+First create a global unique userid
+
+
+Site userid:
+https://macgirvin.com/1
+
+$guuid = base64url_encode(hash('whirlpool','https://macgirvin.com/1.' . mt_rand(1000000,9999999),1);
+
+
+Then create a hashed site destination.
+
+$gduid = base64url_encode(hash('whirlpool', $guuid . 'https://macgirvin.com',1);
+
+These two keys will identify you as a person+site pair in the future.
