It is estimated that the number of IoT devices will reach 75 billion in the next five years. Most of those currently, and to be deployed, lack sufficient security to protect themselves and their networks from attack by malicious IoT devices that masquerade as authorized devices to circumvent digital authentication approaches. This work presents a PHY layer IoT authentication approach capable of addressing this critical security need through the use of feature reduced Radio Frequency-Distinct Native Attributes (RF-DNA) fingerprints and Support Vector Machines (SVM). This work successfully demonstrates 100 randomly chosen radios at signal-to-noise ratios greater than or equal to 6 dB, and (ii) rejection of all rogue radio ID spoofing attacks at signal-to-noise ratios greater than or equal to 3 dB using RF-DNA fingerprints whose features are selected using the Relief-F algorithm.
