Abstract

An electronic device. The device comprises a metalization layer and an integrated circuit chip incorporated into the device wherein the integrated circuit chip is capacitively coupled to the metalization layer. The device comprises a first substrate having the metalization layer formed on the substrate, a cap layer covering at least the entire metalization layer and at least a portion of the first substrate not covered by the metalization layer. The integrated circuit chip is coupled to the first substrate, and is placed in proximity and in non-physical contact with the metalization layer. A conductive layer is attached to the integrated circuit chip. The conductive layer has at least a portion placed in a non-physical contact with the metalization layer. The integrated circuit chip is capacitively coupled to the metalization layer through the conductive layer and the metalization layer.

Claims

1. A method for authenticating a machine readable medium comprising:

reading, by a playback device, an encrypted first code from a radio frequency identification integrated circuit, the a radio frequency identification integrated circuit coupled to a machine readable medium placed inside the playback device;

authenticating, by the playback device, the machine readable medium using the encrypted first code and a second code stored on the machine readable medium.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising disabling playback of the machine readable medium if the machine readable medium fails the authenticating.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising ejecting the machine readable medium from the playback device if the machine readable medium fails the authenticating.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the machine readable medium is a disk.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the radio frequency identification integrated circuit is coupled to a center ring of the disk.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the disk is balanced despite the radio frequency identification integrated circuit coupled to the disk.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the disk further comprises one or more weight balancing components.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the machine readable medium is a DVD.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein reading the encrypted first code uses a 13.56 MHz radio frequency signal.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein reading the encrypted first code uses a radio frequency signal between 800 MHz to 3 GHz.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising decrypting the first code prior to the authenticating.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the second code is encrypted.

13. A method for authenticating a machine readable medium comprising:

placing the machine readable medium in a playback device;

reading a first code from a radio frequency identification integrated circuit, the a radio frequency identification integrated circuit coupled to the machine readable medium;

comparing the first code to a second code stored on the machine readable medium.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising disabling playback of the machine readable medium if the machine readable medium is not authenticated by the comparing.

15. The method of claim 13 wherein the machine readable medium comprises a disk.

16. The method of claim 13 wherein the radio frequency identification integrated circuit is coupled to a center ring of a disk.

17. The method of claim 13 wherein the first code is encrypted.

18. The method of claim 13 wherein reading the first code uses a 13.56 MHz radio frequency signal.

a reader to read a first code from a radio frequency identification integrated circuit, the radio frequency identification integrated circuit coupled to the machine readable medium; and

electronics to authenticate the machine readable medium using the first code and a second code stored on the machine readable medium.

21. The device of claim 20 wherein the electronics disables playback of the machine readable medium if the machine readable medium is not authenticated.

22. A disk comprising:

a radio frequency identification integrated circuit, the radio frequency identification integrated circuit storing a first code;

a metallization layer storing video information and a second code,

wherein the disk is balanced during playback despite the radio frequency identification integrated circuit.
