How to generate an iPhone fingerprint?

This site http://www.gemalto.com/financial/ebanking/sdk/index.html is talking about "device fingerprint"

On an iPhone how would you do so ? By creating a token based on UUID ? Can't UUID be spoofed somehow ?

First of all the devices UDID used by Apple is now no longer supported and apps using it will get rejected. And EVERYTHING can be spoofed or lost/changed - even when the device is restored.

The best bet I would go for is either use MAC address of the WiFi card Or just generate it server-side and store it locally on the device (this is more to track an install than the device)

It sounds like marketing-speak. They are probably using a combination of cookies and MAC-addresses, and maybe there's some public-private key encryption going on in there. And yes, it can all be faked. Any "fingerprint" that a network device could have is one that can conceivably be spoofed.
