Claim 12:
13. A method comprising:
determining that an external device is connected to a hardware port of a computing device;
periodically measuring, using a port meter that is associated with the computing device and that is electrically connected to the hardware port, an electrical parameter to generate a series of first values of the electrical parameter, wherein the series of first values includes a first value;
determining, using a sensor including at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or a vibration sensor, a second value indicative of at least one of a temperature, a humidity, or a vibration associated with the computing device;
receiving, by an operating system of the computing device, the first value and the second value;
sending, to a remote computing system, the first value and the second value;
receiving a response from the remote computing system;
determining, based at least in part on the response indicating that the first value is outside of a first predetermined range of values associated with a trusted device and that the second value is outside of a second predetermined range of values, that an untrusted device is connected to the hardware port; and
causing an action to be performed based at least in part on the determining that the untrusted device is connected to the hardware port.
