Something strange in my session variables

I did not put the following into my session but just noticed that they are there right now. Can someone tell me what these are?

[securimage_code_value] => ckvyrf
[securimage_code_ctime] => 1299386024

Are you using any sort of CAPTCHA? If so the code value might be the word that needs to be entered by the user to pass the CAPTCHA.

Or it could be left over from an old session that was not destroyed which used a captcha on your site.

Depending on the browser, sessions can survive the browser window being closed and a new instance opened.
