SYSTEMS FOR FINDING A LOST TRANSIENT STORAGE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method performed on a computing device comprising at least one processor and memory, the method comprising:
- communicating, by the computing device in response to a determination that the computing device is lost, with a service via a host over a secure tunneling channel provided by the host, where the computing device, the host, and the remote service are separate and distinct from each other.

Abstract
Processes for identifying and recovering a lost transient storage device are provided. In some processes, information regarding the owner of the device is obtained. The device ownership information may be stored on a remote service with which the device is registered and/or may be stored on the device itself. In one process, the remote service provides the device with customized device-executable code when the device is registered. The device may also contain information regarding trusted systems. The process includes obtaining status information indicating whether a device is lost when the device is connected to a host system. In some processes, the status is determined by a remote service. In other processes, the status is determined by the device. If the device is lost then a device recovery plan is executed. Portions of a device recovery plan may be executed on the remote service, the host system, and/or the device.

8. At least one computer storage device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device that also includes memory, cause the computing device to perform actions comprising:
- communicating, by the computing device in response to a determination that the computing device is lost, with a service via a host over a secure tunneling channel provided by the host, where the computing device, the host, and the remote service are separate and distinct from each other.
