* \ingroup wrappers
*
* MOTIVATION
* The risk of using Generic Sensor API calls for device fingerprinting is
* mentioned within the W3C Candidate Recommendation Draft, 29 July 2021
* (https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/CRD-generic-sensor-20210729/#device-fingerprinting)
* Documented threats include manufacturing imperfections and differences
* that are unique to the concrete model of the device and can be used
* for fingerprinting.
*
* We discovered another loophole in the `Sensor.timestamp` attribute. The value
* describes when the last `Sensor.onreading` event occurred, in millisecond precision.
* We observed the time origin is not the time of browsing context creation
* but the last boot time of the device. Exposing such information is dangerous
* as it allows to fingerprint the user easily. It is unlikely that two different
* devices will boot at exactly the same time.
*
* Tested with the Magnetometer sensor on the following devices:
* - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra; Android 11, kernel 5.4.6-215566388-abG99BXXU3AUE1, Build/RP1A.200720.012.G998BXXU3AUE1
* Chrome 94.0.4606.71 and Kiwi (Chromium) 94.0.4606.56
* - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5; Android 9, kernel 4.4.156-perf+, Build/9 PKQ1.180901.001
* Chrome 94.0.4606.71
*
*
* WRAPPING
*
* The wrapper thus protects device by changing the time origin to the browsing context
* creation time, whereas the timestamp should still uniquely identify the reading.
* This is achieved in the following way:
* - At the first reading, we calculate the difference between the original value
* and performance.now(). This gives us the offset between 1) the device boot
* and 2) the page context initialization.
* - On every reading, the offset is subtracted from the original value. The resulting
* value then uniquely identifies the reading sample without exposing the boot time.
* - Like in the other time precision wrappers, the resulting timestamp is processed
* by the mitigation function before return. The mitigation may round and (optionally)
* add noise to the resulting timestamp.
*
*
* POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
* in protection level 2, the timestamp origin may be set to a random value based
* on the session hash. This can serve as a "fake boot time."
