METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTHENTICATING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a device and a method which efficiently and accurately construct an access control configuration of high security. SOLUTION: Only the MAC address of a controller (client) 351 which a user has authorized is authenticated and registered in a MAC address table of a device 352, and the device 352 executes MAC address filtering for permitting the access to the controller 351 (client) authenticated and registered in the MAC address table. Notification of the completion of registration and version adjustment are executed to construct a sure access control configuration. An apparatus authentication device avoids the access from a wrong party which is not authenticated neither registered, and a controller which tries to wrongfully authenticate an apparatus is made unaware of the existence of a server, so that access control of high security can be realized.
