A secure device for securing an article that includes at least one connection element, at least one data carrier, and at least one security element. The connection element is configured to be connected to the article, and the data carrier is in connection with the connection element and is configured to be connected to the article via the connection element. The connection element is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation such, that at least one marking element is generated in the connection element upon the impingement of the electromagnetic radiation. The data carrier is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation such, that at least one further marking element is generated in the data carrier upon the impingement of the electromagnetic radiation. The security element comprises or consists of the marking element of the connection element and of the further marking element of the data carrier.

A data carrier () comprises at least a first guiding element (), at least a first processing element (), and at least a first security element (). The first processing element () is arranged after the first guiding element () with respect to an extension direction (E). The first guiding element () is configured to guide impinging electromagnetic radiation towards the first processing element (). The first processing element (), in an unprocessed state, is semi-opaque or opaque. In a processed state after being impinged by electromagnetic radiation that is irradiated through the first guiding element () onto the first processing element (), the first processing element () in the region of impingement comprises at least a first processed region () in the form of a transparent region or translucent region or a hole. The first guiding element () and the first processed region () at least partially overlap when viewed along the extension direction (E), whereby the first security element () is generated.
