Abstract
Systems and methods for authenticating a peripheral device prior to allowing the peripheral device access to components and data stored on user equipment. In some examples, the user equipment may include an authorization component that is configured to physically decouple a hardware interface from other components of the user equipment until the authorization component is able to authenticate the peripheral device. Both authorized peripheral devices and the user equipment may be provisioned with authorization data and/or credentials from a system outside the control of the individual users of the user equipment.
