Abstract
A hybrid reader for smart cards and magnetic stripe cards includes a selective lock mechanism for only smart cards. The mechanism is responsive to the establishment of electrical contacts between the reader and the smart card for activating a latch mechanism. The mechanism is not responsive to the proper seating of a card in the reader or to the presence of only a magnetic stripe card and requires a greater amount of energy to capture a smart card than is required to release the card.
