A system for authenticating an external device attached to a main device. The system includes a first ID generator, arranged in the external device, for generating a first identification signal. A second ID generator, arranged in the main device, for generating a second identification signal. An authentication device compares the first and second identification signals and authenticates the external device based on the comparison result. The second ID generator is configured by a semiconductor device. Thus, the system has a high level of security with respect to the confidentiality of encryption information.
