With this scheme random isn't quite enough though, it needs to be unique as well doesn't it?

  Chances of generating two random 32-byte strings that collide are so tiny that you can as well say that they are unique.

    Remember that assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, although in this case the risk as you say is minimal.

      It's not an assumption, it's a fact.

      Making an assumption that will fail approximately one time in the entire history of the universe is safe.

    For some reason I read that as 32 bits to start with. 32 bytes is a hell of a lot of salt.
