• Abstract: Digital fingerprints have brought great convenience and benefits to many online businesses. However, they pose a significant threat to the privacy and security of ordinary users. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of current anti-tracking methods against digital fingerprints and design a browser extension that can effectively resist digital fingerprints and record the website's collection of digital fingerprint-related information.

• Keep your Identity Small: Privacy-preserving Client-side Fingerprinting [0.0]
  Device fingerprinting is a widely used technique that allows a third party to identify a particular device. One of its most widespread uses is to identify users visiting different websites and thus build their browsing history. This constitutes a specific type of web tracking that poses a threat to users' privacy. We propose Privacy-preserving Client-side Fingerprinting (PCF), a new method that allows device fingerprinting on the web, while blocks the possibility of performing web tracking.

  fingerprint leakage from social media raises a strong desire for anonymizing shared images. To guard the fingerprint leakage, adversarial attack emerges as a solution by adding imperceptible perturbations on images. We propose FingerSafe, a hierarchical perceptual protective noise injection framework to address the mentioned problems.
