PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively perform network identification. SOLUTION: A network fingerprinting component for a computerized system issues network identifiers (NID) to computer networks. Identity confidences may be determined for each issued network identifier with respect to current computer networks. Computer network attributes may include passive network attributes and active network attributes. Retrieving values for active network attributes involves generating network traffic. Therefore, passive network attributes may be available with the network fingerprinting component before active network attributes. Learnt identity confidence modifiers may be applied to identity confidences determined independently of active network attributes to achieve more accurate identity confidences sooner.
