Claim Text:
1. A platform protected by a-security system, the platform comprising: a plurality of interfaces including a Bluetooth sensor, a motion detector, and a short range near field communications (NFC) reader, wherein the NFC reader to detect a pattern and a timing of tapping on the platform by a NFC device, the NFC device comprising a unique identifier; a pairing logic to identify an NFC device as an authorized device for arming and disarming the security system by authenticating the unique identifier of the NFC device; and detecting the pattern and the timing of tapping on the platform by the NFC device; a risk behavior logic to identify a potential risk behavior, when the system is armed; and a core logic to evaluate the risk behavior and determine whether a security action logic should take an action; an arming logic to arm the security system upon receipt of an arming command; a disarming logic to disarm the security system upon receipt of a disarming command; wherein the arming command and the disarming command to use the detected pattern and the timing of tapping on the platform by the NFC device; and wherein the platform to be powered in a plurality of power states such that power is removed from a subset of the plurality of interfaces that are not relevant to a power state of the plurality of power states, and the NFC reader is to be available in a low power mode of the platform, enabling the security system to be armed and disarmed without powering up the platform; whereby the NFC reader makes it difficult to eavesdrop on the NFC communications by operating at a short range.
