Receptacle isolation

A service kiosk, comprising:

• a control module to control configuration of electronic devices stored within the service kiosk;
• a set of receptacles adapted to store the electronic devices, each receptacle comprising:
• a faraday cage, integrated into the receptacle;
• an adaptor for providing at least one of power to an electronic device, and a data connection between the electronic device and the control module;
• and
• a locking mechanism to secure contents of the receptacle;
• wherein the faraday cage and an individualized network digitally isolates the electronic device from devices stored in other receptacles;
• wherein the individualized network corresponds to the electronic device and prevents direct transmission of a wired signal between the electronic device and devices stored in other receptacles;
• and
• an authentication module to authenticate a user based on a credential provided by the user, to control a selected locking mechanism of a selected member of the set of receptacles based on the credential, and based on data received from a remote information technology module, and where the data received from the remote information technology module is used by the control module to configure a selected device associated with the selected member of the set of receptacles.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from a remote information technology module, authentication data associated with a user, and configuration data associated with an electronic device associated with the user;
• selecting, based on the configuration data associated with the user, a selected receptacle of a set of receptacles of a device-as-a-service kiosk, where members of the set of receptacles comprise a power connector to provide power to a device stored therein, a data connector to provide a data connection between the device-as-a-service kiosk and the device stored therein, a locking mechanism to physically secure contents of the receptacles, and a faraday cage and an individualized network to prevent communication between devices stored within and other electronic devices;
• wherein the individualized network corresponds to the electronic device and prevents direct transmission of a wired signal between the electronic device and devices stored within;
• authenticate a user based on a credential provided by the user and based on the authentication data associated with the user;
• and
• controlling a selected locking mechanism of the selected receptacle to grant the user physical access to the selected receptacle.
