Many vendor-specific Exif fields do contain the camera serial number eg:
offset 0x000c in the Canon tags
<http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Canon.html>


>For that to happen, *all* of the following would have to be true:
>-   data such as the following have been published:
>     -   Camera Serial Number
>     -   Date and Time
>     -   Position, e.g. Lat/Long
>-   a link between the Camera Serial Number and a person can be achieved
>-   the person did not want to disclose that data

So the Exif fields can contain the first 3 pieces of the above requirements.
