Abstract

Generally, this disclosure describes providing theft deterrence for a device while in transit. The system may include lock state circuitry configured to receive and store an unlock token, the unlock token configured to indicate that an associated device has successfully completed transit from a source to a destination; and lock state read circuitry configured to request the unlock token from the lock state circuitry and to determine whether the associated device has successfully completed transit from the source to the destination based on the unlock token.
