Summary:A method, system, and computer usable program product for detecting a counterfeit device are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A set of parameters associated with a device is determined. An on-device signature stored on the device is located. A subset of parameters is selected from the set of parameters and a signature is computed using the subset of parameters. The computed signature is compared with the on-device signature. The device is detected as a counterfeit device if the computed signature does not match the on-device signature.
