Notice of Availability of Software and Documentation for 
Licensing

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Availability of WIFI Distinct Native Attribute (DNA) 
Fingerprinting Demonstration Code.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of section 801 of Public Law 113-66 
(2014 National Defense Authorization Act); the Department of the Air 
Force announces the availability of WIFI Distinct Native Attribute 
(DNA) Fingerprinting Demonstration Code, V23, dated 15 Nov 2023, to 
include source code (MATLAB m-files), experimentally collected WIFI 
data (MATLAB mat-files), and operation checking (Ops Check) 
documentation software and related documentation for to illustrate some 
basic elements of Distinct Native Attribute (DNA) fingerprinting. DNA 
fingerprints are extracted from radio frequency device emissions and 
used to discriminate (uniquely identify) specific hardware devices 
using machine learning (ML) techniques. The demonstrated 
discriminability is akin to using human fingerprints and/or human DNA 
to discriminate (identify) individuals. The package includes a series 
of folders and code for performing end-to-end DNA fingerprinting. The 
folders are sequentially numbered and include some experimentally 
collected WiFi signals; some 1D and 2D fingerprint extraction/
generation code, and some machine learning code for performing the 
discrimination. All of the code includes header information indicating 
contributing researchers and appropriate references for signals and 
systems where the DNA fingerprinting has been demonstrated.

ADDRESSES: Licensing interests should be sent to AFIT ORTA, 2950 Hobson 
Way, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433; 937-255-3633; or Email: 
[email protected]. Include Docket No. AIT-231220-SL in the subject 
line of the message.
