• Authors: Bechir Hamdaoui and Abdurrahman Elmaghbub
• Abstract summary: We study and analyze the sensitivity of LoRa RF fingerprinting to various network setting changes. We propose a new fingerprinting technique that exploits out-of-band distortion information to increase the fingerprinting accuracy. Our results show that fingerprinting does relatively well when the learning models are trained and tested under the same settings.

• Abstract: Deep-learning-based device fingerprinting has recently been recognized as a key enabler for automated network access authentication. Its robustness to impersonation attacks due to the inherent difficulty of replicating physical features is what distinguishes it from conventional cryptographic solutions. Although device fingerprinting has shown promising performances, its sensitivity to changes in the network operating environment still poses a major limitation. This paper presents an experimental framework that aims to study and overcome the sensitivity of LoRa-enabled device fingerprinting to such changes. We first begin by describing RF datasets we collected using our LoRa-enabled wireless device testbed. We then propose a new fingerprinting technique that exploits out-of-band distortion information caused by hardware impairments to increase the fingerprinting accuracy. Finally, we experimentally study and analyze the sensitivity of LoRa RF fingerprinting to various network setting changes. Our results show that fingerprinting does relatively well when the learning models are trained and tested under the same settings. However, when trained and tested under different settings, these models exhibit moderate sensitivity to channel condition changes and severe sensitivity to protocol configuration and receiver hardware changes when IQ data is used as input. However, with FFT data is used as input, they perform poorly under any change.

  We consider a common RF fingerprinting scenario, where machine learning models are trained from pilot signal data for identification. A novel adversarial attack solution is designed to generate proper perturbations, whereby the pilot signal can hide the hardware feature and misclassify the model. Extensive experiment results demonstrate that the RF fingerprints can be effectively erased to protect the user privacy.

We propose a realignment strategy using local embeddings extracted from intermediate feature maps within the networks to refine the global embeddings in low certainty situations. This strategy can be applied as a wrapper to any existing deep learning network (including attention-based, CNN-based, or both) to boost its performance.

  Device fingerprinting approaches rely on deep learning to extract device-specific features solely from raw RF signals. One widely known issue lies in the inability of these approaches to maintain good performances when the training data and testing data are collected under varying deployment domains. We will present some ideas on how to go about addressing these challenges so as to make deep learning-based device fingerprinting more resilient to domain variability.
