Abstract
In a method and a system (1) for providing target information of an event message for an event occurring at a tag reader (2), the target information is extracted from a signed digital certificate of a tag (4). The event is triggered at a tag reader (2) and can be evaluated by a target computer (6), for example a server. The method and system enhance reconfiguration flexibility and also increase security against manipulation.
