ALWAYS-AVAILABLE EMBEDDED THEFT REACTION SUBSYSTEM
First Claim
1. A platform including an always-available theft protection system, the platform comprising:
- a storage including full disk encryption;
a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed;
a core logic component to provide logic to analyze the potential problem and to trigger a security action logic to perform the security action, when the potential problem indicates a theft suspicion;
the security action logic, to send an alert to another device regarding the theft suspicion, and to trigger the storage to encrypt data; and
an encryption logic to encrypt the data when the platform is in an OFF or low power state.

Abstract
A platform including an always-available theft protection system is described. In one embodiment, the platform comprises a storage including full disk encryption, a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed, and a core logic component to provide logic to analyze the potential problem and to trigger a security action logic to perform the security action, when the potential problem indicates a theft suspicion. The system, in one embodiment, further includes the security action logic, to send an alert to another device regarding the theft suspicion, and to trigger the storage to encrypt data, and an encryption logic to encrypt the data when the platform is in an OFF or low power state.

7. A platform including an always-available theft protection system, the platform comprising:
-
a storage including full disk encryption; an arming logic to arm the platform; a risk behavior logic to detect a potential problem when the platform is armed; a security action logic to trigger a power transition logic, to transition the platform to a low power state, the low power state protecting the platform by encrypting the data and requiring an authentication for access to the platform. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of protecting a platform using an always-available security system comprising:
-
arming a platform, in response to an arming command; monitoring the platform to detect a potential problem; in response to detecting the potential problem, displaying a warning, indicating that an alarm will be sounded, the warning designed to prompt a thief to power down the platform; in response to powering down the platform, protecting the platform by encrypting the data and requiring an authentication for access to the platform. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
