Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for obfuscation of browser fingerprint data are disclosed. In one embodiment, in an information processing apparatus comprising at least one computer processor, a method may include: (1) receiving an electronic communication from an electronic device to a destination; (2) identifying a raw device fingerprint value in the electronic communication from an electronic device; (3) selecting at least one replacement value for the raw device fingerprint value; (4) replacing the raw device fingerprint value with the replacement value in the electronic communication; and (5) sending the electronic communication with the replacement value to the destination.
