Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of enabling authentication of an information carrier (105), the information carrier (105) comprising a writeable part (155) and a physical token (125) arranged to supply a response upon receiving a challenge, the method comprising the following steps; applying a first challenge (165) to the physical token (125) resulting in a first response (170), and detecting the first response (170) of the physical token (125) resulting in a detected first response data (175), the method being characterized in that it further comprises the following steps; forming a first authentication data (180) based on information derived from the detected first response data (175), signing the first authentication data (180), and writing the signed authentication data (185) in the writeable part (155) of the information carrier (105). The invention further relates to a method of authentication of an information carrier (105), as well as to devices for both enabling authentication as well as authentication of an information carrier (105).
