Abstract
Subject matter disclosed herein may generally relate to docking systems, and more particularly, to docking systems for portable computing devices such as, for example, tablet computing devices. The docking system may include (1) an enclosure for the portable computing device and (2) a base, where the enclosure can be docked to the base. A communication channel can be established between the portable computing device and the base via the enclosure and an electrical connection that exists when the enclosure is docked with the base. Through the communication channel, data such as credential data can be passed from the portable computing device to the base. The base can control whether the enclosure is permitted to be undocked from the base based on this credential data.
