The message data is provided on at least one of the product and packaging. The digital signature is provided on the other of the product and packaging, and the product is packed in the packaging. The digital signature can be generated via a fuzzy-message digital signature scheme having a verification algorithm for verifying the digital signature in relation to fuzzy data within a predetermined difference measure of the message data.
