I am working on a project for identification of device. I understand the basic parameters can be IP, MAC, IMEI can be spoofed! But what about hardware signals like Clock skew data with TLS handshake methods? Also i was looking into a traffic patterns and how we can use them to differentiate between devices? Forgive me, if i sounded silly, Networking is not my domain yet, i have just started learning about it!

My question is actually, is it do-able , cause i just learnt that devices are now starting to get built to not 'stand out'? I dont want to write a paper but rather build a tool that uses data from methods like cpu jitter, clock skew, ntp offset! I know these datas are pretty difficult to obtain but if i were to build it, how useful would it be for the market right know!

While the industry treats 802.1x (tls) as the gold standard, it doesn't fit my vision. Forcing a device to download and manage certificates is 'intrusive' it disturbs the client and adds unnecessary overhead.…
