Say you have an API for which 10 million developers all have a unique Guid they use to authenticate. Some random hacker decides to try to steal one of these API keys by throwing random guids at the API. If they tried 1 trillion different guids every millisecond for 1 year, they would have a 1 in a trillion chance of hitting one of those 10 million API key's you've given out.
