I wrote some code to do something similar last week. It doesn't check the $HTTP_REFERER or anything but it's not a Message Board system either so there's not a significant likelihood that a generated seshunid is going to be hijacked or even visible by anyone but the logged in user. It's more like a hidden tag which indexes a server-side cookie for transaction state information. In hindsight, I'd change the time stuff to be all seconds like time() instead of the array context of localtime() but it werks now so I'll change it later if I get around to it. I'm putting the code in craft... Here it is! I hope someone finds it mildly useful. Feel free to email me with any questions or more likely suggestions on how I could do it better (I have much to lern!). TTFN & Shalom.
