摘要

A video recording/reproducing device performing authentication between image devices comprising an image system and a stored data protecting function is provided to prevent the connection of the device which is not applied by perform the authentication through network. A storage/reproduction controller(300) includes a storage/reproduction unit(310), a device authentication information generator(320) and a communications control unit(330). The equipment authentication information generating unit produces the equipment authentication information with the encryption of the inputted initial authentication information. The communication controller performs the authentication process for connection about an external resource based on the generated equipment authentication information.
