PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for guaranteeing the reliability of a multiplex authentication server introduced and installed to a system. SOLUTION: This multiplex system by a plurality of authentication servers for the purpose of multiplexing the authentication servers comprises client PCs 1-1, 1-2 connected to a network 1-6, the servers 1-4, 1-5, and a device 1-3. In the multiplex system, the identification and authentication of a user, and access to a resource and permission are centrally managed by the authentication servers 1-4, 1-5. Each of the plurality of authentication servers 1-4, 1-5 has: a holding means holding a private key related to itself, of a key pair of a public key and the private key based on a public key cipher system, in secrecy; and a communication means performing periodic communication so as to confirm reliability between the multiplexed authentication servers. The multiplex system for the authentication server uses the key pair for the communication by the communication means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
