Device fingerprinting
Device fingerprinting involves the collection of various information elements to produce a unique pattern for identification. Online users can be tracked by combining a number of features including: • data derived from the configuration of a device • data exposed by the use of particular network protocols • cascading style sheet information • JavaScript objects • HTTP header information • clock information • transmission control protocol stack variation • installed fonts • installed plugins within the browser • use of application programming interfaces Fingerprinting can be used as an alternative to cookies and can be passive, without any obvious querying of the machine, or active, which involves more invasive querying.
