Device fingerprints has potential to identify the source of digital communication information. Although identifying transmitters with their fingerprints remains an arduous question, fusion identification with multiple device fingerprints is a feasible methodology. In this paper, a relationship between parameters of two representations of discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) autoregressive moving average (ARMA) system model is derived which has definite physical meaning. With the relationship, a novel linear device fingerprints is proposed which may enlarge the inter-class distance of the transmitters to be identified. The proposed device fingerprints can be used for fusion identification of network devices and the corresponding ARMA systems especially for that with slight differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
