Abstract: Wireless restricted peripheral sessions are described herein. In a wireless restricted peripheral session, a mobile device has wireless access to peripheral devices and associated resources of a computing device but is restricted from accessing other resources of the computing device (such as files or applications unrelated to the peripheral devices). The mobile device can then receive input provided through a keyboard or mouse associated with the computing device, for example, and can provide information for display on a monitor associated with the computing device. A wireless restricted peripheral session can be established through a variety of approaches that can include the use of hardware, firmware, software, and/or virtual machine sessions. Wireless restricted peripheral sessions allow a visitor with a mobile device to work using peripheral devices of an organization's computer in a secure manner.
