Description: Digital fingerprinting is the process where a remote site or service gathers little bits of information about a user's machine, and puts those pieces together to form a unique picture, or "fingerprint," of the user's device. The main two forms of fingerprinting are browser fingerprinting, and device fingerprinting. ____________________________________________________________ Useful links: ssd.eff.org “What Is Fingerprinting?” ssd.eff.org/en/module/what-fingerprinting coveryourtracks.eff.org “COVER YOUR TRACKS” coveryourtracks.eff.org/about W3C “Fingerprinting Guidance for Web Specification” w3.org/2014/strint/papers/41.pdf Wikipedia: “Device fingerprint” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint privacybee.com “What is device fingerprinting and how do I prevent it?” privacybee.com/blog/what-is-device-fingerprinting-and-how-do-i-prevent-it researchgate.net “Tor Fingerprinting: Tor Browser Can Mitigate Browser Fingerprinting?” researchgate.net/publication/319268046_Tor_Fingerprinting_Tor_Browser_Can_Mitigate_Browser_Fingerprinting Rob Braxman, known as the Internet privacy guy talks in depth about browser and device fingerprinting and how to counter the issue. youtube.com/watch?v=673nJQEkhe0&t=48s youtube.com/watch?v=uH-oSU1W5lk&t=76s youtube.com/watch?v=dsu9b5FqK_0&t=1011s Here is an article by a company that offers fingerprinting tools so you can get a sense of the scale of information being gathered bit.ly/3oStHma ____________________________________________________________ Music: “Invisible Enemy” by Jeremy Black “Versace Beat” by Yung Logos “Bent” by Odonis Odonis “World War Outerspace” by Audio Hertz “Skip With My Creole Band” by Jingle Punks “Danger Snow” by Dan Henig
