Abstract
Techniques for restricting access to sensitive application(s) or data to a limited physical area are disclosed. Various embodiments are described in which a tethering station and a wireless storage controller communicate with each other over a radio link. The tethering station can be secured such that the tethering station's location restricts the range within which the wireless storage controller is allowed to enable access to a mobile storage controlled by the wireless storage controller. This restricts access to the application and/or the application stored in the mobile storage to a limited area through radio tethering.
