Abstract

Methods and systems for managing operation of endpoint devices are disclosed. The operation of the endpoint devices may be managed by requiring that the endpoint devices obtain security data from other devices. If the security data is not obtained, the endpoint devices may seal at least some of their functions from use by users. By limiting the functions of the endpoint devices, malicious parties may be less likely to be able to compromise the endpoint devices. The endpoint devices and other devices may be operably connected via a channel that limits that distance between the endpoint devices and the other devices. If the distance is exceeded, then the endpoint devices may be deprived of access to the security data.
