Abstract
The invention relates to a security device with sensors for checking whether the security device () is in an undamaged state and checking for the presence of a specified support () of the security device (), said support () being an object, in particular a mechanical or electronic component, characterized in that the sensors detect movements and/or accelerations of the security device () relative to the support () and/or material properties of the support () and/or of the security device () and are connected to an electronic system () for signal evaluation. In a method for using such a security device () the state of the security device () and the presence of a specified support () are ascertained multiple times and in different ways, wherein signals are used which are obtained as actual values and which are compared with specified target values in an electronic system (). An action is triggered upon a deviation of at least one of the actual values from the target values.
