Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with acoustic fingerprint identification of devices are described. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a target acoustic fingerprint from acoustic output of a target device. A similarity metric is generated that quantifies similarity of the target acoustic fingerprint to a reference acoustic fingerprint of a reference device. The similarity metric is compared to a threshold. In response to a first comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, the target device is indicated to match the reference device. In response to a second comparison result of the comparing of the similarity metric to the threshold, it is indicated that the target device does not match the reference device.
