Using sessions does not prohibit you from also validating IP
addresses. Record the IP address in the session and compare it to
later ones. You should be aware that validating IP addresses can
make your site unusable for people using round-robin proxies, which
may make requests for parts of the same page appear to come from
several different IP addresses. Perhaps you don't care about this
(if it's a private web site for use from the office LAN, you very
well might not).

But if you spend all your time inventing a replacement for the
ASCII character set or HTML, you will never get much useful done.
