Account sharing, resulting in liability dilution
Device Fingerprinting
Unlike behavioural verification, Trusted Device Manager does not analyse user behaviour and habits, but the device components themselves. Device Fingerprinting is a type of data library that runs on all web browsers and analyses the components of every device connected to a given system computers, laptops, phones or tablets.
Device Fingerprinting collects very detailed information about all devices on a system. These include:
- components (graphics card model, processor, etc.);
- browser and operating system settings;
- additional details (screen resolution, battery consumption).
In this way, each piece of hardware is given its own “label”it is recognised by the system and monitored in the context of potentially dangerous activities. It is also worth mentioning that the data library not only collects this information, but also updates it. Replacement of a graphics card with a newer model in a given device will be remembered and saved as a component update.
On this basis, Device Fingerprinting is able to identify with 99% accuracy whether actions are performed by the owner, or whether there has been interference from third parties.
