The article mentions " I was told yesterday (by Bruce Schneier, so I trust it) that the noise pattern from a device’s antenna can be used to fingerprint it, a side effect of high-precision wireless transceivers."
My quick attempts with Google did not provide any good results. Does anybody have pointers to research about how feasible this fingerprinting is for example against modern cellphones?
- AsymetricCom 13y agoModern cellphones have many, many other ways to fingerprint them that are more economic. I doubt what Schneier suggests would ever be used in anything other than military applications for the next 10 years.
- rdl 13y agoIt's more of an issue for something like wifi, where you can trivially change MAC (and do host-level stuff to change the fingerprint of the rest of the stack).
