Abstract

A compact disc ( 10 ) for a computer incorporates a security device for preventing non-authorized reading of data carried by the disc. The security device includes an LCD laser blocker ( 16 ) which is activated or deactivated by means of a microchip ( 13 ) powered by a cell ( 14 ) and/or solar panel ( 15 ). Authorized reading of the data is possible by a fingerprint scanner ( 12 ) linked to the microchip and causing it to deactivate the blocker ( 16 ), when the scanner recognizes a user's fingerprint which the microchip matches to a programmed authorized fingerprint. Also disclosed is a data carrying compact disc ( 20 ) which incorporates security means to allow a first reading of the data of the disc, but to prevent such reading thereafter. An area ( 21 ) of the disc, such as a FAT file, can be arranged to be destroyed or blocked, to prevent subsequent reading thereof by the disc reading means.
