Service providing system in which services are provided from service provider apparatus to service user apparatus via network

摘要

A service user's personal information that has been verified and to which a digital signature has been attached by a personal information verification apparatus 11 (signed-personal information) is stored in a highly secure form within a service user apparatus 12. For receiving services, the service user apparatus 12 transmits the signed-personal information stored therein, to a service provider apparatus 13. The service provider apparatus 13 verifies the signed-personal information based on the digital signature, and then provides services based on the personal information.
