A method for controlling data access to and from an RFID device wherein the RFID reading device authenticates himself to the RFID device before the RFID device communicates with the RFID reading device. The RFID device is equipped with a physically uncloneable function, which is adapted to produce a unique but unpredictable response signal upon receiving a predefined challenging signal. During an enrolement of the RFID device, a first response signal is uniquely associated with a first challenging signal and is stored in a memory of the RFID device. The first challenging signal represents a password for opening further data communication with the RFID device. When a RFID reading device queries the RFID device with a second challenging signal, the RFID device compares a corresponding second response signal with the first response signal stored during enrollment and only if there is a match, responds with its identifier.
