<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely execute the right protection of data to be transmitted and received between a data processor and card type equipment mounted on the data processor. <P>SOLUTION: When card type equipment(for example, PC card 603) mounted on a data processor 601 is authenticated, data are exchanged between a non-contact communication means 605 arranged in a data processor 601 and a non-contact communication means 606 mounted on card type equipment(PC card 603) so that equipment authentication can be executed. Also, equipment authentication can be executed by using a non-contact type authentication pattern recognizing means arranged in the data processor and an authentication pattern means arranged in the card type equipment. Furthermore, the equipment authentication can be executed by using a contact type authentication key-shaped recognizing means arranged in the data processor and an authentication key-shaped means arranged in the card type equipment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
