The present disclosure provides a system to establish a stable ownership relationship between an online identity and a mobile device. This relationship is persistent across device wipes and operating system reinstalls. Remote commands enable a user to: locate the mobile device; wipe user data off the mobile device; disable the mobile device; display a permanent message on the mobile device; and return a disabled mobile device to normal. Ownership is established when the mobile device is purchased. Thereafter, the ownership is maintained in a host sever through an association between a unique identifier of the mobile device and the owner's online identity. The owner of the mobile device may remotely send an encrypted command to the mobile device, for example, if the mobile device is lost or stolen. The encrypted command is decrypted by the mobile device and the result of the command may be returned remotely to the owner. |
