Abstract: A system for authenticating a wireless device. The device comprises an RF feature extractor operable to extract RF features related to a plurality of wireless devices. A deep learning engine is provided which is operable to learn the RF features evaluates RF features related to the plurality of devices. The RF extractor is operable to further receive RF features of a new instance of a specific wireless device from the plurality of devices. An analyzer is operable to detect a signature for the specific wireless device using the RF characteristics about the new instance using the deep learning engine.
