Attached computing device

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• a connection port to attach the computing device to a host computing device;
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions when executed causing at least one of the one or more processors to:
• cause a device driver to be installed from the computing device to the host computing device to enable the computing device to send data to and receive data from the host computing device;
• initiate an operating system session on the computing device by initiating an operating system on the computing device, the operating system session initiated by initiating the operating system on the computing device providing a secure computing environment on the computing device separate from a computing environment of the host computing device;
• and
• after initiating the operating system session by initiating the operating system on the computing device, cause launching of a web browser on the host computing device, the operating system session accessible to a user of the host computing device via the web browser launched on the host computing device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed cause a computing device to:

• initiate an operating system session on the computing device attached to a host computing device, the initiating of the operating system session comprising initiating an operating system on the computing device, the operating system session initiated by initiating the operating system on the computing device providing a secure computing environment separate from a computing environment of the host computing device;
• after initiating the operating system session by initiating the operating system on the computing device, cause the host computing device to launch a browser on the host computing device, the browser on the host computing device to communicate with the computing device via a communications link;
• encode an interactive remote display to be displayed in the browser launched on the host computing device;
• and
• transmit the encoded interactive remote display to the host computing device via the communications link.
