Imposter detection with canvas and WebGL using Machine learning.

Authentication offers a way to confirm the legitimacy of a user attempting to access any protected information that is hosted on the web as organizations are moving their applications online. It has long been believed that IP addresses and Cookies are the most reliable digital fingerprints used to authenticate and track people online. But after a while, things got out of hand when modern web technologies allowed interested organizations to use new ways to identify and track users. There are many new reliable digital fingerprints that can be used such as canvas and WebGL. The canvas and WebGL render the image which is dependent on the software and hardware of the system. In our work with the generated hash value value from canvas and WebGL we create a model using KNN to identify the imposters. The model has proved to be accurate in authentication of user with an accuracy of 89%.
