Abstract
A transmitter is configured to change its unique radio signature enough to defeat radio fingerprinting identification without destroying the content of the transmissions. The transmitter may be configured for defeating both transient-signal fingerprinting and steady-state fingerprinting. The transmitter may be configured to obfuscate transient detection. The transmitter may continuously vary spectral, amplitude, and/or phase characteristics of its transmissions to defeat radio fingerprinting. The transmitter may pair radio fingerprints with subscriber terminal identification codes (e.g., MAC addresses or SMSIs) for generating different radio identities. The transmitter may measure another transmitter's radio fingerprint, and, compensating for its own radio fingerprint, spoof the measured radio fingerprint.
