Abstract
Internet-of-things (IOT) devices can be identified based on specific behavioral patterns when their identification data is unknown. Previously identified IOT devices with similar behavioral patterns can be used as a baseline from which to compare data that is available about unknown IOT devices. For example, an IOT device can be pooled with a group of IOT devices based on the frequency with which they connect to a wireless network. Additionally, a confidence level of the unknown device being associated with the group of IOT devices can be generated based on such comparison data.
