Troy, take a look at the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlraw.sql script which creates the utl_raw package. The package contains procedures to convert varchar2 to raw and raw to varchar2. You would need to write you own function to handle the formatting of individual areas of your key.

Oracle has a function named sys_guid that is intended to generate global unique identifiers that you may want to look at. See SQL manual.
