Remote commands using network of trust

1. A user device comprising:

a processor;

a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor; and

a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform steps of:

receiving a command through the wireless transceiver, the command comprising instructions indicating the intended recipient of the command;

examining the command and determining, based on identifying the instructions by the examining, that the command is addressed to a second user device and not the user device, the second user device being separate from the user device;

detecting, via the wireless transceiver, a plurality of devices in communication range of the user device, the plurality of devices including at least one additional device different from the user device and the second user device;

for each one of the plurality of devices:

sending, through the wireless transceiver, a challenge to the one of the plurality of devices in response to the detecting;

receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second user device identifier from the one of the plurality of devices in response to the challenge; receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second challenge from the one of the plurality of devices;

generating a response to the second challenge, the generating comprising inserting information uniquely identifying the user device into the response;

sending, through the wireless transceiver, the response to the one of the plurality of devices in response to the second challenge;

receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second response generated after receiving the second user device identifier from the one of the plurality of devices;

in response to receiving the second user device identifier, extracting information about the one of the plurality of devices from the second response and locally storing the information about the one of the plurality of devices in a local set of a plurality of member devices maintained in local memory; and

in response to identifying the information about the one of the plurality of devices in the local set of the plurality of member devices maintained in local memory, forming a network of trust with the one of the plurality of devices; and

sending, by the wireless transceiver, the command to each of the plurality of member devices.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the command comprises receiving the command from a server.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the command comprises receiving, by the wireless transceiver, the command in a broadcast message sent by at least one of the members of the network of trust.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the command includes instructions addressed to the second user device to disable at least one function of the second user device.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform steps of:

receiving a command through a wireless transceiver in communication with the at least one processor, the command comprising instructions indicating the intended recipient of the command;

examining the command and determining, based on identifying the instructions by the examining, that the command is addressed to a second user device not comprising the at least one processor;

detecting, via the wireless transceiver, a plurality of devices in communication range of a device comprising the at least one processor, the plurality of devices including at least one additional device different from the second user device;

for each one of the plurality of devices:

sending, through the wireless transceiver, a challenge to the one of the plurality of devices in response to the detecting;

receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second user device identifier from the one of the plurality of devices in response to the challenge;

receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second challenge from the one of the plurality of devices;

generating a response to the second challenge, the generating comprising inserting information uniquely identifying the user device into the response;

sending, through the wireless transceiver, the response to the one of the plurality of devices in response to the second challenge;

receiving, through the wireless transceiver, a second response generated after receiving the second user device identifier from the one of the plurality of devices;

in response to receiving the second user device identifier, extracting information about the one of the plurality of devices from the second response, and locally storing the information about the one of the plurality of devices in a local set of a plurality of member devices maintained in local memory; and

in response to identifying the information about the one of the plurality of devices in the local set of the plurality of member devices maintained in local memory, forming a network of trust with the one of the plurality of devices; and

sending, through the wireless transceiver, the command to each of the plurality of member devices.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further cause the at least one processor to perform steps of:

receiving the command in a broadcast message sent by at least one member of the network of trust; and

executing the command.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 6 ,

wherein executing the command includes disabling at least one function of the user device.
