In order to unambiguously allocate a data carrier to an object, key information is written into the data carrier. Before writing-in the key information, secret identification information and open identification information is written into the data carrier. Copies of the secret and open information are stored in a central station. In the central station, for a particular data carrier, the open and secret information is associated with each other. In addition thereto, in the central station, object information for the particular object, and key information for the object are associated with each other. From the data carrier, the open identification information is sent to the central station to access the associated stored open and secret identification information so as to retrieve the stored secret identification information. In addition thereto, object information is sent to the central station to access the associated stored object and key information so as to retrieve the stored key information. The retrieved key information is encrypted with the retrieved secret identification information and the encrypted key information is sent to the data carrier. In the data carrier, the received encrypted key information is decrypted. The decrypted key information is written into the data carrier.
