Several types of data can form a fingerprint, including the following examples:
#Digital fingerprint serial number#
The model and the unique serial number can be used to identify the user.

Any device that has an internet connection can be accessed. To be more exact, it includes environment air control, air conditioners, smart sockets, smart TVs, and so on. For instance, different protocols and applications can identify and control them. Also, when you switch to another device, cookies are useless because they are per device.Īlso, the fingerprinting extends to all electronic devices that are connected to the Internet. However, these alone are not necessarily an accurate way of identification, but together with other elements such as the IP address can make the identification much more obvious.įurthermore, cookies are an excellent way to identify users, but they can be easily erased. Cookies record portions of data from what you visit in a browsing session. Your internet browser stores cookies usually in temporary files on your PC. When you access a web page, cookies may appear while you are browsing the internet. The manufacturer assigns the MAC address for each device it produces, and the ISP usually assigns the IP address. The physical address MAC and the public IP address characterizes any network device. By comparison, the digital fingerprint is the extraction of sets of unique identifiers that lead to the identification of a person. As you can deduce, the fingerprint is a unique identifier of a person.
