“Can a device/browser fingerprinting API become the de facto identity and fraud-detection infrastructure layer for the web?”
Fingerprint (originally FingerprintJS Inc.) provides browser and device fingerprinting technology as an API service, enabling websites and apps to identify visitors with high accuracy for fraud detection, bot detection, and identity verification use cases. The company offers both an open-source JavaScript library (FingerprintJS) and a commercial SaaS product (Fingerprint Identification) that stores and processes visitor data on behalf of clients. The technology is positioned as infrastructure for fraud prevention rather than a standalone consumer product.
