Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. A computing device comprising:
a hardware port configured to receive a connector of an external device;
a port meter that is electrically connected to the hardware port and configured to measure an electrical parameter associated with the hardware port;
a sensor including at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or a vibration sensor;
a processor; and
memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause performance of operations comprising:
determining that the external device is connected to the hardware port;
periodically measuring, using the port meter, the 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 the 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
performing an action based at least in part on the determining that the untrusted device is connected to the hardware port.
