Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'.
my $type = $sec->get_usage_type()
Returns the usage type of this secret. The usage type determines the format of the unique identifier for this secret.
my $id = $sec->get_usage_id()

Returns the raw bytes for the value of this secret, or undef if there is no value stored with the secret.
$sec->set_value($bytes)
Sets the value for the secret to be $bytes.
