1. A method performed on a computing device comprising at least one processor and memory, the method comprising:

  • communicatively coupling the computing device with a host;

    receiving, by the computing device from the host to which the computing device is communicatively coupled, status information about the computing device that was provided to the host from a remote service, the status information indicating that the computing device is lost or stolen;

    establishing, responsive to the received status information, a secure tunneling channel between the computing device and the remote service, where the secure tunneling channel passes through the host and is provided by the host; and

    mutually authenticating, by the computing device with the remote service, via the secure tunneling channel;

    communicating, by the computing device in response to the mutual authenticating, data through the host with the remote service over the secure tunneling channel between the computing device and the remote service, where the computing device, the host, and the remote service are separate and distinct from each other.
