Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer system, and a computer program product for managing physical objects. A computer system associates a physical object of a set of physical objects with an object identifier. The computer system obtains a digital fingerprint, from a unique physical property of the physical object, wherein the digital fingerprint is impacted by the unique physical property. The computer system obtains a dataset from the object identifier and the digital fingerprint. The computer system cryptographically signs the dataset to obtain a signature. The computer system instructs to store the object identifier and the signature on a data storage device.
