A system for recording an expected value which a hash value of each of a plurality of the components in this system should take on. The system further records in association with secret information an expected value of integrity information which serves as a condition for permitting access to the secret information. The system includes a register for storing integrity information for certifying the integrity of the components. In the system, a value computed by further inputting to a hash function the expected values which hash values of the components should take on is stored in the register as the integrity information before the components are started. Then, a hash value of a component newly started is computed, and the integrity information of the register is updated on condition that the computed hash value is different from the expected value. Access to the secret information is permitted on condition that the expected value of the integrity information and the integrity information of the register are identical.
