The security and convenience of a mobile communication device is enhanced based on a separate key device. If the key device is near the mobile communication device, the mobile communication device may be automatically unlocked without the user having to input an unlock code. The mobile communication device may be automatically unlocked into a first mode having a first level of functionality. If the user inputs a correct unlock code, the mobile communication device may be unlocked into a second mode having a second level of functionality, greater than the first level of functionality.

The method disclosed herein provides for performing device security corrective action based on loss of proximity to another device, such as a key device. While a mobile communication device is locked, a mobile communication device determines whether or not a key device is within a specified distance. If the key device is not within the specified distance from the mobile communication device, a notification may be displayed on the mobile communication device. If a user responds to the notification, the user may prevent or alter the mobile communication device from performing at least one device security corrective action. If, however, the user does not respond to the notification within a specified time period, the at least one device security corrective action is performed on the mobile communication device.

The method disclosed herein provides for performing device authentication based on the of proximity to another device, such as a key device. When a key device is not near a mobile communications device, an unlock screen is allowed to be presented on a display screen. Based on the mobile communications device receiving a first code to unlock the mobile communications device, the mobile communications device is unlocked in a first mode. Based on receiving a second code while the unlocked mobile communications device is in the first mode, the unlocked mobile communications device changes from the first mode to a second mode, wherein a level of functionality of the mobile communications device in the second mode is greater than a level of functionality of the mobile communications device in the first mode

In one embodiment, a system for deskewing signals on parallel bus channels includes several parallel channels that carry several data input signals and a pair of complementary voltage and timing reference (VTR) signals.
