This patent describes how your network latency (aka ping), not system clock, can be used to estimate your rough geographic location. If Paypal is in the US and you claim to be in the US, an average network latency of 500ms between you and Paypal indicates you may not be in the US after all.
This concept is nothing new, and will never be used as a strong indicator for tracking since it's also not reliable/consistent. A congested network route will also throw off your network latency, for example.
I'd expect you know about computers a lot better than this for someone that has a "PhD in Browser Fingerprinting".
| I highly doubt your reading skills. That patent talk about clock drift, clock skew, and network latency. So three things, They use TCP/ICMP Clock Skew and clock drift on Machine Plus they measuring network latency using one of following ways,
1. Time from the source sending a packet to the destination receiving it
2. Round-trip Time (the one-way latency from source to destination plus the one-way latency from the destination back to the source)
Clock Skew, Clock Drift, Network Latency are three different things and not related to each other.
To me, you are ignorant who don't want to believe in Advanced Fingerprinting. I honestly tell everyone that this guy is selfish, he does not want the truth to go out. |
