DEVICE DNA / SIGNAL NETWORK

Identify the same device
across browsers.

DeviceDNA helps your website recognize when separate browser sessions are likely coming from the same device. Your backend requests a short-lived session token with its private server key; the browser uses that one-time token to submit permitted signals. DeviceDNA returns tenant-scoped evidence, while your server makes the final decision.

FROM SIGNALS TO DECISIONS

Browsers are separate views.
DeviceDNA compares the pattern.

Web browsers do not expose a motherboard serial number. DeviceDNA therefore compares many browser-visible signals, including display properties, graphics behavior, runtime capabilities, media support, storage availability, and consistency checks. It is designed to remain useful across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, private sessions, cleared storage, and ordinary network changes. The service reports the strength of a likely relationship; it does not claim guaranteed hardware identity.

01 / COLLECT

Measure visible signals

Collect display, graphics, runtime, media, storage, locale, and capability signals without privileged device access.

02 / COMPARE

Separate browser from device

Normalize expected browser-engine differences, retrieve plausible clusters, and score stable evidence with its freshness and reliability.

03 / DECIDE

Return a cautious result

Receive a cluster ID, confidence, status, integrity level, and reason codes. Your server decides whether to allow, challenge, or review.

KNOW THE SCOPE

Clear inputs. Clear outputs.

DeviceDNA is designed to support a security decision, not to invent a hardware serial number. Every result should be understandable and reviewable.

INPUT

What we collect

Permissionless browser-visible signals such as screen characteristics, graphics capabilities, runtime behavior, locale, media support, storage availability, and integrity consistency.

OUTPUT

What we return

A tenant-scoped browser ID, signature ID, device cluster ID when defensible, confidence, status, integrity level, and reason codes.

LIMIT

What we cannot promise

No browser-only SDK can guarantee recognition after a fully coherent anti-detect profile spoofs every exposed signal. Such cases remain uncertain.

TEST THE FULL PIPELINE

Verify it on your own device.

Use two ordinary browsers on the same computer before integrating DeviceDNA. The test shows whether observations with different browser storage and browser-specific values can still be assigned to one device cluster.

  1. 01
    Create your workspace

    Register with your email address and name the website you want to protect.

  2. 02
    Add the exact website origin

    Include the protocol and hostname, for example https://shop.example.com. Only listed origins can submit observations.

  3. 03
    Create a private server key

    Keep the key on your backend. Your backend uses it to issue short-lived, single-use browser session tokens.

  4. 04
    Run the first device test

    Open Device test, paste the key, and run deep identification. Record the device ID, status, confidence, and integrity.

  5. 05
    Compare another browser

    Repeat the test in another browser on the same computer. A defensible match should return the same device cluster with an appropriate confidence level.

READ THE DECISION

Know what the result means.

Device ID

A tenant-scoped cluster identifier. Matching IDs indicate observations assigned to the same likely device.

Status and confidence

Exact is a persisted browser match. Probable is a supported cross-browser match. Uncertain stays unmerged.

Integrity and reason codes

Integrity reports signal consistency. Reason codes explain the evidence behind the decision and should be retained for review.

PRODUCTION FLOW

Keep the final decision on your server.

The browser SDK gathers evidence. DeviceDNA verifies it. Your backend combines the signed result with the customer account and applies your policy.

01Visitor browser

SDK collects a normalized observation.

02DeviceDNA API

Matcher returns a signed identity result.

03Your backend

Verify the assertion and account context.

04Your policy

Allow, challenge, limit, or send for review.
