Abstract:
1. A secure optical media comprising: optically encoded content contained within one or more secure optical medias; and at least one Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag embedded into at least one of the secure optical medias comprising tag encoded content, wherein at least a portion of the optically encoded content is secured by the tag encoded content, wherein the optically encoded content is software encrypted, wherein a decryption key for the software encrypted optically encoded content is contained within the tag encoded content, and wherein the tag encoded content including said decryption key is able to be directly read by an external RFID reader of an optical media drive that includes an optical reader for reading the optically encoded content, wherein a security engine external to the secure optical media selectively decrypts the software encrypted optically encoded content using the decryption key of the tag encoded content, wherein the secure optical media lacks a hardware processor capable of executing programmatic instructions, and wherein the at least one Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag embedded comprises a plurality of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, wherein a quantity of the plurality of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags serves as an additional protection mechanism, wherein the security engine external to the secure optical media takes security actions to prevent the software encrypted optically encoded content from being utilized when an incorrect quantity of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are detected for the secure optical media.
