SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SECURITY SERVICES DURING POWER MANAGEMENT MODE
Systems and methods for providing security services during a power management mode are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises detecting with a mobile security system a wake event on a mobile device, providing from the mobile security system a wake signal, the providing being in response to the wake event to wake a mobile device from a power management mode, and managing with the mobile security system security services of the mobile device. Managing security services may comprise scanning a hard drive of the mobile devices for viruses and/or other malware. Managing security services may also comprise updating security applications or scanning the mobile device for unauthorized data.

2 . A method comprising:
receiving by a computer system a signal from a removable device attached to the computer system;
automatically requesting authentication information from the removable device;
evaluating the authentication information; and
enabling one or more interactions with the removable device only if the authentication information satisfies a trust condition.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the computer system is a mobile device.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the removable device is attached to the computer system via a universal serial bus (USB) port.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the removable device is a USB device with a processor and memory.
6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving security services from the removable device.
7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving code update services from the removable device.
8 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving digital rights management services from the removable device.
9 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving a wake signal from the removable device.
10 . A computer system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
memory storing computer instructions, the computer instructions when executed by the one or more processors for causing the computer system to perform
receiving a signal from a removable device attached to the computer system;
automatically requesting authentication information from the removable device;
evaluating the authentication information; and
enabling one or more interactions with the removable device only if the authentication information satisfies a trust condition.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the computer system is a mobile device.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the removable device is attached to the computer system via a universal serial bus (USB) port.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the removable device is a USB device with a device processor and device memory.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving security services from the removable device.
15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving code update services from the removable device.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the one or more interactions include receiving digital rights management services from the removable device.
