PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish a secure processing environment by detecting an unauthorized change to an operating system, an application program and/or a content. SOLUTION: Before execution of an operating system software by a processor 102 operably connectable to a main memory 106 so that data can be read from the main memory 106 to be used in a local memory 104, which is a processor 102 including the local memory 104 correlated with itself, consistency of the operating system software is certified, and a state flag for showing the consistency of the operating system software is preserved. In addition, before permitting an operation procedure by the processor 102, it is assured that the state flag shows the consistency of the operating system software. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
