<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain, to some extent, the reception of services due to the stealing of information necessary for a piece of authentication included in multiple pieces of authentication, even if the information is stolen, when the multiple pieces of authentication are executed. <P>SOLUTION: On the assumption that multiple devices and apparatuses are connected and multiple authentication processes are performed, it is determined, in accordance with a state of connection, whether a prescribed authentication result is to be kept or deleted (or, validated or invalidated) among the multiple authentication processes. By this, the provision of services to third persons having no authority is prevented. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
