The present invention relates to a method of creating challenge-response pairs, a method of authenticating a plurality of physical tokens, a system for creating challenge-response pairs and a device for authenticating a plurality of physical tokens. A basic idea of the invention is to interconnect a plurality of physical tokens (101, 102, 103), such as a plurality of uncloneable functions (PUFs), in a sequence, provide the sequence with a challenge (Q and use a response of a PUF as a challenge to a subsequent PUF in the sequence. When a final PUF is reached in the sequence and produces a response (R), a challenge-response pair (CRP) has been created, which pair comprises the challenge provided to the sequence of PUFs and the response produced by the final PUF. At least the challenge of this CRP is then stored.
