at least one article comprising a first tagging device embedded in the at least one article and a second tagging device embedded in or attached to the at least one article,

at least one reading device configured to read at least one of the first tagging device and the second tagging device,

a central data processing device comprising a storage device with a central database stored thereon and a first transmitting/receiving device, and

a second transmitting/receiving device associated with the at least one reading device and configured to transmit data to and receive data from the at least one reading device and the first transmitting/receiving device, wherein

the central database at least comprises: at least one virtual identity (virtual ID), the at least one virtual ID comprising information regarding the article, wherein

the virtual ID further comprises an owner profile, a public key, an identification master (IDmaster) code, and an identification slave (IDslave) code, the owner profile-comprising information regarding an ownership of the article, wherein

the virtual ID is a data set, which construes the virtual identity of the article, and which is stored in the central database, wherein

the public key is a code used during communication with or within the system, the public key identifying any one of: the manufacturer of the article, the manufacturer of the first tagging device and the manager of the central database, wherein

the IDmaster code and the IDslave code are generated by the central data processing device, wherein

the first tagging device comprises a first data set stored thereon, the first data set comprising at least: the information regarding the at least one article, the public key, a first tag identification TID) and the identification master (IDmaster) code, the first tagging device being locked in a read-only mode, wherein

the second tagging device comprises a second data set stored thereon, the second data set comprising at least a second tag identification (TID) and the IDslave code, the second tagging device being locked in a read-only mode, wherein

the IDmaster code and the IDslave code are paired and locked to one another by the central data processing device in a process, which may only be initiated by an owner of both the virtual ID and the at least one article, and which links the ownership of the at least one article to the IDmaster code and the IDslave code, wherein the ownership denotes the relation between the article comprising the first tagging device with the first data set and the second tagging device with the second data set and an owner of this article, and wherein

the first tagging device and the second tagging device are paired by coupling a gateway of the first tagging device and a gateway of the second tagging device to the virtual ID stored in the central database.
