This object can get fingerprint of the user machine using a canvas.

It adds a property to a given object that can set a text string encoded using base64 to render on a canvas object.

The object sets a default value to the base64 encoded text, but that value may be overridden.

The object can get the CRC of the canvas data rendering the text to act as a fingerprint of the user machine.

Prize: One book of choice by Packt		 Every computer installation is different even when the user is running the same browser on the same operating system.

This can be used to distinguish different users without require the user to identify himself.
