Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable computer security device that includes a protective mounting structure for an LCD. The portable computer security device includes a cover and a base and further includes an integrated circuit and a LCD assembly that are each positioned between the cover and the base. The LCD assembly is electrically connected to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit generates random numbers for display on the LCD assembly such that the random numbers may be used to provide access to a computer system. In addition, the LCD assembly is aligned with an opening in the cover to permit observation of the LCD assembly through the opening in the cover. The portable computer security device further includes a damping member. The damping member is positioned between the LCD assembly and the cover to reduce shock and vibration forces that are generated on the LCD assembly.
