an application execution unit configured to execute one of the plurality of applications by using a designated one of the plurality of certificates; anda storage control unit configured to control the storage unit to store correspondence information indicating that the executed application corresponds to the designated certificate, when the application execution unit executes one of the plurality of applications and one of the plurality of certificates is designated, wherein the storage unit further stores a management application that manages the plurality of certificates, and wherein the processor is further configured to operate as:
a first confirmation unit configured to confirm whether first correspondence information relating to a first certificate is stored in the storage unit by confirming whether each application corresponds to the first certificate, when an instruction to delete the first certificate from the storage unit is input by a user to the management application,a first notification unit configured to generate a notification comprising first information about a first application that corresponds to the first certificate according to the first correspondence information when it is confirmed that the first correspondence information is stored in the storage unit, the notification comprising the first information being generated after the instruction to delete the first certificate from the storage unit is input by the user and before deleting the first certificate from the storage unit, anda second notification unit configured to, when a startup process of the first application is started and there are no certificates corresponding to the first application:
generate a notification comprising second information indicating that there are no certificates corresponding to the first application, if the first certificate has been deleted and before a different certificate, which is to be used in executing the first application, is newly designated instead of the first certificate, andnot generate the notification comprising the second information and the startup process is carried out, if none of the certificates have ever been designated as the certificate for executing the first application. |
