A secure device and information processing apparatus

摘要

The inventive IC card includes a first communications unit, a second communications unit, and a passing information management unit accessible to a card application. The passing information management unit retains the processing identifier transmitted from an external R/W via the first communications unit and the PIN transmitted from a cell phone via the second communications unit in association with each other. The card application, receiving a processing identifier and a data request from the external R/W reads the PIN whose corresponding processing identifier matches the received processing identifier from the passing information management unit and transmits the PIN to the external R/W. Thus, even in case a cell phone is in the hands of another malicious person with a PIN written into an IC card, the PIN cannot be read from the IC card unless the processing identifier transmitted from the external R/W matches the processing identifier corresponding to the PIN. <IMAGE>
