Abstract
The card reader prevents fraudulent use of the data read from a magnetic card. The card reader takes a card having a magnetic stripe at a card insertion port into a card reader and a magnetic head reads data recorded on the magnetic stripe. The data read is saved and a timer is started. After a given time elapses, the saved data is made unavailable for reading.
