Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing access to a peripheral device is described. A request is received from an operating system to interface with a peripheral device. The operating system requesting to interface with the peripheral device is analyzed. A determination is made as to whether the operating system is a host operating system based on the analysis of the operating system. The operating system is prevented from interfacing with the peripheral device if the operating system is a host operating system.
