Abstract: Radio Frequency Fingerprint Identification (RFFI) is a promising device authentication technique that utilizes inherent hardware flaws in transmitters to achieve device identification, thus effectively maintaining the security of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, time-varying channels degrade accuracy due to factors like device aging and environmental changes. To address this, we propose an RFFI method integrating Zero-Forcing (ZF) equalization and KAN-ResNet. Firstly, the Wi-Fi preamble signals under the IEEE 802.11 standard are Zero-Forcing equalized, so as to effectively reduce the interference of time-varying channels on RFFI. We then design a novel residual network, KAN-ResNet, which adds a KAN module on top of the traditional fully connected layer. The module combines the B-spline basis function and the traditional activation function Sigmoid Linear Unit (SiLU) to realize the nonlinear mapping of the complex function, which enhance the classification ability of the network for RFF features. In addition, to improve the generalization of the model, the grid of B-splines is dynamically updated and L1 regularization is introduced. Experiments show that on datasets collected 20 days apart, our method achieves 99.4% accuracy, reducing the error rate from 6.3% to 0.6%, outperforming existing models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
