How to get a unique session ID of a browser

The server variables like REMOTE_ADDR, Instand_ID etc. can not be taken as guaranty unique ID for the PC/Smartohone that browsing the website. This is specially true when the ADSL connection goes through a 3rd party which is common practice in many countries. The 3rd party do not have a lot legal IP and so, hundreds of PC browsing website get same IP address.

Since every PC/smartphone would in theory have an unique CPU number or unique network card number, why Browser could not also pass over an unique ID to identify this PC/device? It seems to me that browser support to offer an unique ID would be a very useful for website designer or security concerned issues.

Is there such feature / facility available somewhere?
