In 604, smart outlet 300 determines whether it has received identification information, such as device identification information that uniquely identifies device 110, from device 110 and/or adapter identification information that uniquely identifies the power adapter (if the power adapter is implemented as smart power adapter 200 that includes stored identification information). In some embodiments, the device identification information is provided by customized software installed on device 110 by controlled environment and includes a device identifier associated with device 110. In some embodiments, the device identification information also includes profile information that is stored on a secure area of device 110 and this profile information includes but is not limited profiles associated with the user of device 110 and or a device profile associated with device 110.

In 606, if no identification information is received (e.g., power adapter has not transmitted any device identification information or adapter identification information), smart outlet 300 next determines whether it has received a contraband signal from the power adapter. In some embodiments, the power adapter transmits a contraband signal to smart outlet 300 if the power adapter is capable of performing contraband detection. The contraband signal indicates the results of the power adapter's contraband detection such as whether device 110 is permitted or restricted from receiving power from smart outlet 300.
