I think your analysis is correct if we simply want protocol adherence,
but I believe the encryption was to support not being able to guess
the concatenated flow and execution IDs.  That said, I don't believe
encryption offers any additional security value.

I recommend we reconsider the symmetric encryption implementation due
to the complexity it creates for clustered deployments.  Key
management is a drag on a single host; on multiple hosts it's a
headache.
