Lower entropy for RUM IDs and Timestamps #251

@chicharr

Description

@chicharr

There are different sources of entropy in RUM data, that bring much more entropy than what is actually needed. Which leads to:

  • more data storage required
  • potential de-anonymization

In an effort to reduce the entropy we will:

  • reduce the RUM ID to a 6 digits random string, encoded in base64
  • add a property t = <milliseconds since first read> to the RUM beacon
