Abstract
An end-user computing device can include a theft detector that maintains a registered host device list containing identifiers of at least one registered host device. The theft detector can have root access to operations of the end-user device and the theft detector can provides a secure reboot request in response to detecting a possible theft condition. The end-user computing device can also include a boot loader that executes a secure reboot of the end-user device in response to a secure reboot request from the theft detector. The secure reboot of the end-user device resets the end-user device to prevent access to the end-user device.
