uuidgen can create a nearly 100% unique key, but if the attackers has access to the machine it was generated on and knowledge of the approximate time the key was generated then it is fairly easy to guess/reverse engineer the key. You may want to look into using a very large prime number or some such. Probably the best thing to do would be to generate a key pair using ssh2-keygen.
