Abstract
A method and system for network endpoint identification through network fingerprint based entity resolution. Particularly, embodiments disclosed herein may entail receiving a network fingerprint descriptive of at least a network endpoint; obtaining at least two network endpoint label sets each inferred from the network fingerprint by a different network fingerprint parser; reducing, through entity resolution and heuristics, the at least two network endpoint label sets into a de-duplicated network endpoint label set; and resolving, through a voting algorithm, the de-duplicated network endpoint label set to obtain a unified network endpoint label that best identifies the network endpoint.
