An authentication terminal performs display to prompt a user to perform an authentication operation in response to an authentication proxy request from a network terminal. The authentication terminal reads authentication data for personal authentication by the user operation, sends an authentication request together with the read authentication data to an authentication server, receives an authentication result from the authentication server, and reports the result to the network terminal. When using a service requiring personal authentication via a network, a communication terminal having no interface for performing personal authentication requests that a proxy authentication terminal having an interface for performing personal authentication act as a proxy for personal authentication, and personal authentication is performed using the interface of the proxy authentication terminal, thereby enabling a user to use a service. |
