Description
Summary:In this Work, a technique for wireless device type fingerprinting has been introduced. The technique utilizes the information that revealed as a result of the homogeneity in devices of the same make and the heterogeneity in devices of a different make. The diversity in devices of different make is due to different device hardware compositions and the variations in their management capabilities. We apply the statistical technique on network traffic to create unique, reproducible device signatures. We demonstrate the efficacy of our technique on network traffic captured in different scenarios. We have used a total of 300 devices types representing a wide range of device classes. In the experiment, we have used more than 1.5 GB of filtered traffic for analysis and performance evaluation. We measure the performance of the technique by considering the accuracy of device type detection. The results obtained are promising with a higher detection rate than its counterparts.
