I still don't see how this prohibits sessions from being used by another browser. Maybe there is something obvious that I am missing. arhuman, can you please clarify this for me?

What information is used in the hash?

If the information in the hash is not directly tied to the browser (such as IP address, browser name), I don't see how a server can determine if the "incorrect" browser is requesting the session.

If only the session key and some private value is used in the hash, how does the server determine if the hashed value came from the browser that it was originally sent to or some other browser?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
