US 2006/0135121 A1 · System and method of securing data on a wireless device

Abstract

A system and method for securing data on a wireless device. A secured zone is defined by a boundary sensor. A data processing system is coupled to the boundary sensor and a wireless device. The data processing system includes a boundary controller for determining whether the wireless device has entered the secured zone. If the wireless device has entered the secured zone, a security controller queries the wireless device to determine whether the software stored on the wireless device has been subjected to unauthorized alteration. If the software has not been subjected to unauthorized alteration, the security controller enables the wireless device for operation within the secured zone.
