摘要: Commonly used identifiers for IEEE 802.11 access points (APs), such as network name (SSID), MAC, or IP address can be easily spoofed. This allows an attacker to fake a real AP and intercept, collect, alter (potentially even encrypted) data. In this paper, we the aforementioned problem by studying limits of unique remote physical device identification based on their clock skew—an unavoidable phenomenon that causes clocks run at marginal but measurably different speed. To end, propose algorithm passive fingerprinting using timestamps regularly sent APs in beacon frames. The major advantages our method are it is online able eliminate influence skew measurement device. Hence, fingerprints performed devices become comparable. We calculate precision provide termination criterion estimation with arbitrary precision. Moreover, conducting large scale evaluation, study stability uniqueness means wireless identification.
