Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de sécurité pour la sécurisation de documents de valeur qui comprend un matériau magnétique. Sur l'élément de sécurité est disposé un extrait d'un codage magnétique qui est composé de plusieurs zones magnétiques et de plusieurs zones vides. L'extrait de codage magnétique est disposé dans une direction prédéfinie le long de l'élément de sécurité, par exemple perpendiculairement à une direction de transport de l'élément de sécurité et/ou du document de valeur à travers un capteur magnétique. Des conditions de longueur déterminées qui sont sélectionnées en fonction du capteur magnétique utilisé sont prédéfinies pour la longueur des zones magnétiques et des zones vides du codage magnétique.
