Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Record carriers for use with machines and with at least a part designed to carry digital markings > characterised by the kind of the digital marking, e.g. shape, nature, code > using markings of different kinds in the same record carrier, e.g. one marking being sensed by optical and the other by magnetic means > at least one kind of marking being used for authentication, e.g. of credit or identity cards

CPC:
