Radio frequency (RF) device fingerprinting plays an important role in network security, enabling physical layer-based network access authentication and network device classification through the identification of devices from their transmitted RF signals. The use of deep learning for RF device fingerprinting has become prevalent in recent years as it has enabled the automated extraction of device-specific features and signatures solely from raw RF signals, without the need for expert domain knowledge to engineer informative features. This talk will describe two active areas of research related to RF device fingerprinting: 1) open-set detection for detecting unauthorized devices and 2) domain adaptation to deal with changes in channel conditions and environmental settings.
