An information processing apparatus (100) has implemented therein a security chip (150) that independently performs a predetermined process. In the security chip (150), information about a virtual IC card and biometric information of a user are registered in association with each other. When obtaining biometric information of the user from a biometric sensor (120), a biometric authenticating unit (156) retrieves information (various authentication information) of a virtual IC card corresponding to the obtained biometric information and assigns the retrieved various authentication information to the user. With such various authentication information, the information processing apparatus (100) performs encryption, an electronic signature process, and other processes. |
