摘要

An individual identifying/attribute authenticating system includes a portable terminal possessed by a buyer of a good or service and an authenticating terminal set at a seller of the good or service. The portable terminal includes at least a component that generates an electronic signature by using a signature key and a component that transmits an electronic certificate and the electronic signature to the authenticating terminal. The authenticating terminal includes at least a component that judges whether or not the electronic signature is legitimate, a component that acquires an attribute information listed in the electronic certificate, in a case in which the electronic signature is legitimate, and a component that judges whether or not the attribute information satisfies a sales restricting condition of the good or service.
