Super interesting project! Out of curiosity, how do you calculate Unique Fingerprint ID and Canvas Deep Fingerprint Hash?

Thanks! The Unique Fingerprint ID is basically a hash of all the collected fingerprint fields. [1]

The Canvas Deep Fingerprint Hash is higher entropy and includes baseline shapes, emoji rendering, winding rules etc. [2]. It’s meant to capture subtle rendering differences between systems.
