Device fingerprinting involves a series of 3 steps that gather information on a user’s device to compile a unique profile out of it towards the end.

Collection of Information

Information is collected on a device when it connects to a network or visits a website. This can include:

Fingerprint Generation

The collected information is then processed and combined to create a unique profile or “fingerprint” for the device. This fingerprint is a representation of the device’s unique characteristics.

Comparison and Tracking

The generated fingerprint is then compared to a database of known fingerprints. The device is recognised when a match is found and its behaviour can be tracked over time. If the fingerprint is not found, a new entry can be created in the database.
