Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating location confirmation models using crowdsourced wireless fingerprints. Wireless fingerprints can be generated and associated with a given location during events that use proximity to specific locations. The wireless fingerprints can be processed to generate location confirmation models that can be used for location confirmation. Periodically, the collected wireless fingerprints can be analyzed and compared to previously collected wireless fingerprints to detect a change in a wireless infrastructure at the given location. Upon determining that a previously generated location confirmation model is invalid according to a level of significance of the change, the outdated wireless fingerprints can be identified and removed from storage or otherwise ignored for future models. An updated location confirmation model can be generated using the up-to-date wireless fingerprints.
