Portable Operating System and Portable User Data

Abstract:

Aspects described herein may relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses for allowing the access of user data across multiple devices. The access may be performed based on a portable hardware device that comprises an operating system and the user data. When the portable hardware device is inserted or otherwise connected to a computing device, the portable hardware device may, based on execution of the operating system, use or otherwise control one or more computing resources of the computing device. By this use and/or control of the one or more computing resources, the user data may be accessed. A computing platform may communicate with the portable hardware device and the computing device to manage the portable hardware device's access to the user data and monitor usage of computer resources by the portable hardware device.
