Popis: RF fingerprinting leverages circuit-level variability of transmitters to identify them using signals they send. Signals used for identification are impacted by a wireless channel and receiver circuitry, creating additional impairments that can confuse transmitter identification. Eliminating these impairments or just evaluating them, requires data captured over a prolonged period of time, using many spatially separated transmitters and receivers. In this paper, we present WiSig; a large-scale WiFi dataset containing 10 million packets captured from 174 off-the-shelf WiFi transmitters and 41 USRP receivers over 4 captures spanning a month. WiSig is publicly available, not just as raw captures, but as conveniently pre-processed subsets of limited size, along with the scripts and examples. A preliminary evaluation performed using WiSig shows that changing receivers, or using signals captured on a different day can significantly degrade a trained classifier’s performance. While capturing data over more days or more receivers limits the degradation, it is not always feasible, and novel data-driven approaches are needed. WiSig provides the data to develop and evaluate these approaches towards channel and receiver agnostic transmitter fingerprinting.
