Abstract

Device fingerprinting, similar to that of humans, if done well, can provide a convenient form of identification. In this poster, we explore whether constituent hardware sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes of different smartphones can be exploited to fingerprint a smartphone. We observe that the readings of these sensors exhibit diverse features for different smartphones consistently when subjected to the same action.
