Patent attributes
Methods and systems for configurable device fingerprinting and/or achieving communications with enhanced security are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a method of configurable device fingerprinting includes storing, at a server, first information regarding one or more selected system attributes, and further includes receiving, at the server, a first signal requesting that a first client device be registered and including system information pertaining to the first client device. Also, the method includes extracting, from the system information, relevant portions of the system information corresponding to the one or more selected system attributes, where the server determines a fingerprint of the first client device based at least in part the relevant portions. Additionally, the method includes generating a first identifier pertaining to the first client device at least indirectly in response to the extracting of the relevant portions, and sending the first identifier for receipt by the first client device.
