How can I tell if two pictures were taken with the same camera?

Is it possible to identify images (without exif data) and link them to the exact same camera? If so, I'd like some software recommendations to get the job done.

I have two photos that I'd like to compare whether they were taken with the same camera or not. They both seem to lack EXIF data but I am sure I've heard of other hidden fingerprints to be found within the images.

For instance, sensor noise should be rather consistent if the photos were taken with the same camera, pretty much like firing a handgun and the bullet gets unique marks. I've also heard that the camera manufacturers sometimes add a hidden watermark which can be read with some special software.
