Abstract:
1. A magnetic strip card security method comprising handling a magnetic strip card perpendicularly compared to a reading direction of the magnetic strip card, the magnetic strip card having a magnetic strip, the reading direction being defined as the direction in which the magnetic strip extends, the method comprising receiving the magnetic strip card in a device in a direction perpendicular to the reading direction and parallel to a major surface of the magnetic strip card, and rotating the device to thereby rotate the magnetic strip card 90 degrees, bringing the magnetic strip card to a position of the reading direction of the magnetic strip card in a secured manner, wherein the magnetic strip card is rotated about an axis perpendicular to a plane defined by the major surface of the magnetic strip card, and wherein, after the magnetic strip card is rotated about the axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the major surface of the magnetic strip card, the magnetic strip card, while in the device, is moved in the reading direction so that the magnetic strip is ready to be read by an ATM's card reader.
