Abstract
A technique for uniquely identifying devices without explicitly provided device or user identifying information in a networked client-server environment, e.g., the Mobile Internet. In one aspect, a system retrieves a profile of a client device, retrieves all device profiles existing in a profile database, and sequentially eliminates profiles not matching until a single profile is left or all profiles have been used.
