+Summary: Session IDs are predicatble
+
+We are using GUIDs for our session ids which makes session id values
+predictable. According to this article:
+http://www.informit.com/isapi/product_id~%7BCD436BF0-C418-43C8-9324-7579DA60B795%7D/element_id~%7B368C7EF7-C523-470C-B187-41271A5C52E5%7D/st~%7BD06674E4-4033-4F5E-85D4-5D32A6FD7B71%7D/content/articlex.asp
+we should create 15 byte arrays using RNGCryptoServiceProvider and then
+encode those values into 24 character strings.
