What else could Adeona be made to do in the future?
The Adeona system is designed with extensibility in mind. We envision that it would be straightforward to add functionality to send authenticated commands back to the laptop (e.g., so as to delete sensitive data). Here the remote storage service, OpenDHT, would act as a private, anonymous bulletin board for relaying communication between the device and its owner. The Adeona client could also be engineered to be significantly more resistant to thieves attempting to disable it, via kernel-level support or even hardware support.
