> Currently the UUIDs used for scanner IDs are using boost::uuid, which doesn't
> necessarily use a secure random source. If these turn out to be predictable,
> some attack around scanner hijacking might be possible. We should use an
> unpredictable source for scanner IDs, or save the original authenticated user
> in the Scanner and ensure that the authentication does not switch mid-scan.
