    Abstract: A roaming device to secure data and/or resources on an associated computing device. The roaming device may communicate with a remote policy node or station to receive one or more policy directives. The roaming device may use a wireless wide area network (WAN) to communicate with the policy node, such as provided by cellular networks. The roaming device may cause the paired computing device to implement or configure a policy by communicating an instruction to the paired computing device. This instruction may be based on the policy directives that the roaming device receives from the policy node. The communication exchanged between the roaming device and the paired computing device may be over a local wireless communication port, such as provided by short-range wireless communication ports.
