PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can reduce power consumption in a manner to stop supplying of a clock to an encryption processing circuit depending on a condition of network communication. SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus is formed of a plurality of CPUs. At least one of the CPUs is a subsidiary CPU of an I/O processor corresponding to energy saving and an I/O controller having a network function. The image forming apparatus determines the necessity of processing of a received packet, and determines whether encryption processing can be performed by the subsidiary CPU when it determines that the processing is necessary. The image forming apparatus stops the clock of the network function corresponding to the determination result. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
