Processing a primary product into a secondary product

Abstract

A method (100) for processing at least one primary product (A, B) into a secondary product (C), including the steps: providing (S15) at A least one primary product (A, B); processing (S19) the at least one primary product (A, B) into a distinguishable quantity of a secondary product (C) by a processing device (11); generating (S20) a report by a state reporting device (14) associated with the processing device (11), wherein said report includes at least one state value indicative of a processing state during the processing step (S19); generating (S28) an unique object identifier indicative of said distinguishable quantity obtained by said processing during the processing step (S19); generating (S29) a data structure (4) having at least two data items (5), wherein one data item (5) holds the object identifier, and wherein one further data item (5) holds said generated report; signing (S60) the data structure by setting a data item (5) of the data structure (4) such that it holds a signature indicative of a natural or legal person and/or a group thereof; and setting (S61) a data item of the data structure such that it holds a cryptographic representation of the signed data structure (4); and providing said distinguishable quantity obtained by said processing during the processing step (S19).
