A method of storing an amount of data D in association with a device, the method comprising: obtaining a characteristic C of the device; generating error correction data R for the characteristic C, the error correction data R enabling correction of up to a predetermined number of errors in a version of the characteristic C; combining the characteristic C with the amount of data D and an authentication key K to generate storage data P, wherein said combining is arranged so that the amount of data D and the authentication key K are obtainable using the characteristic C and the storage data P; generating a signature using a signature key, the signature being a digital signature of a quantity of data comprising the storage data P, the amount of data D and the authentication key K, wherein the signature key corresponds to a verification key accessible by the device; generating an authentication code for the error correction data R using the authentication key K, wherein the authenticity of the error correction data R is verifiable using the authentication code and the authentication key K; and storing the error correction data R, the storage data P, the signature and the authentication code to thereby store the amount of data D. |
