Patent attributes
A system for obtaining information about an Internet of Things (IoT) device connected to a network includes a data traffic collection point, a data processing module and an artificial intelligence module. The data traffic collection point collects data units communicated to or from a specified IoT device of a plurality of IoT devices connected to a network. The data processing module processes quantitative information pertaining to the data units communicated to or from the specified IoT device collected over a defined time interval, to create a temporal data traffic fingerprint of the specified IoT device. The artificial intelligence module utilizes a machine learning model to deduce device identifying information of the specified IoT device from the temporal data traffic fingerprint of the specified IoT device.
