Abstract
A mobile device detects its location and other devices in proximity to the mobile device. When the device is in an untrusted location, or is in physical proximity to an untrusted device, the mobile device ensures existing security and authentication mechanisms are in place, and may additionally require enhanced security measures on the device. In addition, the device may modify its functionality based on the mobile device being in an untrusted location or in physical proximity to an untrusted device.
