Abstract:
1. A machine-implemented method comprising: detecting an initialization request at a client; in response to detecting the initialization request, storing an initial value as a client-side insertion value, the client-side insertion value being used to track a number of removable media insertions at the client; sending a first login request to a secure network that includes the initial value, wherein the secure network is adapted to store the initial value as a secure network-side tracker value that tracks, at the secure network, the number of removable media insertions at the client; detecting a first removable media insertion by a user at the client while the client is logged into the secure network; in response to detecting the first removable media insertion: in response to sending the increment request, logging off the secure network by the client; in response to the logging off of the secure network, detecting a second removable media insertion at the client; in response to detecting the second removable media insertion, re-incrementing the incremented client-side insertion value at the client; sending a second login request to the secure network, the second login request including the re-incremented client-side insertion value; receiving a message from the secure network that includes an action in response to the secure network determining that the re-incremented client-side insertion value does not equal the incremented secure network-side tracker value; performing the action at the client in response to receiving the message; and resetting the client-side insertion value.
