Abstract
A system and method to manage privileges, wherein privileges are assigned to uniquely identifiable objects and a link between a uniquely identifiable object and a uniquely identifiable programmable device is established. The established link allows the uniquely identifiable programmable device to make use of at least a part of the privileges assigned to the uniquely identifiable object. The link is established under a set of preconditions, where at least the precondition of physical proximity between the uniquely identifiable object and the uniquely identifiable programmable device is verified. The uniquely identifiable object includes a irreproducible security device, which is registered to the uniquely identifiable object and can be used to verify physical proximity between the uniquely identifiable object and the uniquely identifiable programmable device by authenticating the irreproducible security device by optical authentication means. At least a part of the authentication process is carried out by the uniquely identifiable programmable device.
